Certified premium hiking trail in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park.
The Werner Freund Wolf Park is a park and research center with landscaped gardens where wolf species from all over the world live. Along the premium hiking trail, a wolf's occasional eerily beautiful howl sends shivers down the spine. At the same time, it is lovely to take in the breathtaking silence on the Klosterberg in the Garden of the Senses. The view, which extends as far as the Saar Valley and the Herzig Basin, could not be more beautiful.
The scenery varies between forests with a deep stream notch, a meadow landscape rich in hedges and scattered fruit trees, and the wolves of the world-famous open-air enclosure.
