Orscholz Dream Loop Cloepfad. Wonderful paths, trails, and forests in the beautiful Saarbrücken area with the famous Saar Loop.
Surefootedness, a clear head, and safe walking are a prerequisite for this hiking trail.
Countless stairs, nature, and wonderful views are the reward. Fantastic.
The parking lot directly in front of the atrium at the start is large and easily accessible.

Today we walked the Cloefpfad and we were really excited. We didn't even know that this path was so great.

Well..... I've been to the Cloef many times, but never walked the path.
We were also pretty lucky with the weather. Even the sun 🌞 came out.
