Dam Nonnweiler

The Nonnweiler dam with a capacity of around 20 million cubic meters is a water protection area and drinking water reservoir. The dam was built in two phases from 1973 to 1975 and from 1977 to 1982. Overburden from the construction of the A1 was used for the dam. With a volume of 20 million m³ and a surface area of approx. 1km², the dam is the largest Water reservoirs in Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate.

Nonnweiler Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Definitely worth a detour. Due to the nature reserve and bathing ban, nature is untouched here and the widely ramified reservoir with its many shelters offers a great view in every season.

Mercury Station – Planet Trail at Nonnweiler Reservoir

Highlight • Monument

𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐠

The Planet Trail helps visitors to get an idea of the size of our solar system. The Sun, its nine major planets and their mean distance from the Sun are represented in 1:1 billion models. The planetary models are set up on the circular route along the dam, true to scale and at the appropriate distance. Beginning with the solar model, the visitor can explore the distances in the solar system up to Pluto. With an average step size, he moves through his cosmic home at about 4 times the speed of light. In order to reach the fixed star closest to the sun, Proxima Centauri, it would have to travel about 40,000 km in the same ratio, i.e. it would have to circle the earth completely once. In addition to the true-to-scale models of the planets, which are always located in the middle of the planetary stations, visitors are provided with some information about the respective planets through text panels and photos. The "earth model" can be rotated because the model of our moon is also located there. The suggestion for the construction of the planet path, the compilation of the information and the design of the planet stations came from a working group of the Birkenfeld high school. The planetary hiking trail was set up in 1996 by the Nonnweiler Dam Association and the Nonnweiler municipality. Source: text information board

We had actually found the hike under the name "Forstelbach - Holzstegerunde am Nonnweiler" and realized during the hike that a small section at the beginning was the "Traumschleife Hubertusrunde".

A nice tour over narrow paths and normal forest roads.

The lap was really very difficult today. You were really just sliding through wet snow. There were some dangerous places where you could have crashed. There should at least be a note in the book of dream loops that the route in snow and ice is not recommended.

Great tour in thick snow. It was really exhausting to get ahead, but it was like magic from a fairy tale. Just beautiful.

After the long run today in the best weather at the lake, which was by the way bustling with activity. Then the contrasting program in the national park on lonely paths on the Hubertusrunde

Today we went on another dream loop. Since we didn't want to drive that far, we opted for the Hubertus Loop in Nonnweiler.
We quite enjoyed the loop. While it lacked the top highlights, we found the route very varied, which made the whole experience very entertaining.
It began along the Prims River with a beautiful pond, then alternated between …

The Hubertusrunde with 62 experience points was the second of our short trip to the Hunsrück high forest. I had already done it in September '22 and found it, compared to the wilderness trail, much more varied than yesterday's tour. When the weather is nice, there are cold drinks and ice cream at the dam. Many of the paths run …

Net time approx. 2h40 minutes

Start and finish is the car park at the indoor swimming pool in Nonnweiler.

A lovely autumn round, the first half is almost entirely uphill.

In the wet weather it is quite slippery, especially on the footbridges.

It was fun🎒🥾🌿🍁🍃🍂
