The hard core of the group started its second training session on May 1st on the “Weg des Wassers” dream loop. The path is particularly characterized by streams, rocks and wildly romantic natural landscapes. The group not only hiked 13 km past natural monuments and rock formations, but also a number of meters in altitude before stopping off at the …

The first tour of our Dream Loop short break was the TS Weg des Wassers (Water Trail).
"Between Prims and Sollbach, you hike along romantic paths past natural monuments and rock formations. Old border markers and fantastic views from the Schlossberg over Vogelsbüsch back to Büschfeld complement the trail. Between 1920 and 1935, the Sollbach Valley formed the border between …

Today we set off on another dream loop - the Water Path. The Dream Loop is actually just right for this weather. You walk almost exclusively on beautiful, shady paths. There was just one spot at the beginning that was quite sweaty. Right at the beginning, we climbed about 50m up a steep staircase, which then turned into a steep …

A nice tour that we hiked in the opposite direction. Today it felt like it was all uphill, which was a bit strenuous at times. Afterwards we had a good cream schnitzel with a large wheat beer, which we really deserved :)

The dream loop doesn't really deserve the name. There are other loops where you walk along the water in a much more impressive and beautiful way than today. I liked the second half better. On the first half I had very nice company of a married couple. Last but not least there were many delicious mushrooms.

August 16, 2024,TS Weg des Wassers Büschfeld

Today I spontaneously hiked the TS Weg des Wassers. Since I live in Büschfeld, I set off from home. Luckily there was no one with me, I was panting quite a bit at times! 🤣🤣 But I think the effort was worth it!!! But since even now some places were still very muddy, I wouldn't recommend it after a long …
