Devil's Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

Not far from the village, a small path leads to the rock via the "Felsenweg" dream loop. It's a superb spot, and also a great place to take photos.

July 29, 2023,Saarland - Naturpark Saar Hunsrück - Felsenweg Losheim

The North Saarland and the Hunsrück live such a niche existence, squeezed between the Eifel, the Ardennes and the Palatinate Forest and all you know about the Saarland are its industrial plants in the south of the country. The geology of the Saarland is extremely exciting. But there is not only coal here. In the north lies red sandstone over …

Today we went from our hotel in Kell am See to Waldhölzbach.
The Felsenweg (Rock Trail), voted the best hiking trail in 2005 by Wandermagazin (hiking magazine), truly lives up to its name.
We repeatedly had to hike over large boulders.
And passed rock faces.
You cross the Rhineland-Palatinate-Saar border.
It climbs to 569 meters.
Several pubs and barefoot paths …

I've saved this loop as a template no less than 10 times. On a scale of @GravelHikeJulez, this hike is rated 6/7. So it should be good.
And it was. Highly recommended. The weather was good for hiking today. Paths, lots of streams, a few rocks and rough scree, lots of benches and the like.
On the border path, with …

Today the start and finish of the dream loop is the parking lot at the fire brigade in Waldholzbach.
Waldholzbach is a district of the municipality of Losheim am See in the district of Merzig-Wadern (Saarland).
For us the most beautiful circular hiking trail in Saarland! There is a bit of everything here; be it rocks, streams, meadows, forest paths, …

Wonderful Traumschleif Tour that I had already run once in 2021, so of course I knew that this Ts was beautiful, but I had forgotten that it is "breathtakingly" beautiful 🤩🤩🤩 As a Dutchman, I had to get used to the fact that the kilometers here take a little more time than the flat walks here in the Netherlands 😅 …

It used to be a great path, but what has been and is currently being cut down is disgusting.

October 18, 2025,Mal wieder der Felsenweg Losheim ☀️🍁😍

The Felsenweg, starting in Waldhölzbach, is the highest-rated hiking trail in Saarland by the German Hiking Institute, with a whopping 103 points.
The route is truly fantastic – lots of paths, some of them rooty and rocky (just the way I like it), with plenty of highlights.
