April 23, 2025,20250423 Saar-Hunsrück: Traumschleife „Heimat“

Today we drove to the Moselle for a few days. On the way there, we hiked the "Heimat" dream loop – one of the 114 Saar-Hunsrück dream loops we had chosen from a flyer. The route is a comfortable length, runs along many beautiful paths, and offers some special highlights, such as the Gehlweiler filming location from the film "Heimat" …

A very beautiful dream loop tour, slightly underestimated in terms of walking time. You have to be very sure-footed. It goes down nice alpine paths on loose stone paths, through beautiful forest (root paths) and meadow paths.

Since the Moselle railway line is being renovated again, and I simply don't have the patience for multiple transfers and rail replacement services, today's destination isn't Trier in Saarland, but rather the heart of the Hunsrück region, the "Heimat" (Homeland) Dream Loop Trail No. 91.

I took bus 615 from Koblenz to Kastellaun/Bus Station,

Today it was another dream loop ☺️...
And I can really recommend this one 😉👍. While it's not particularly long, it offers a lot for hikers. I particularly enjoyed the rocky descent from the Koppenstein—which, amusingly, is also called the "Bonebreaker Trail."
Ankle-high shoes and a bit of surefootedness would be advisable here.

Beautiful tour with an alpine character. Surefootedness and a certain level of fitness are absolutely necessary.

The three of us took advantage of the first truly wonderful morning this year to train for the upcoming hut tour. The Heimat-Traumschleife is ideal for this, as it already has a bit of a mountain feeling here.☀️🏞️

Especially if you take the loop against the actual running direction, you have a very nice climb through the forest to the …

The Traumschleife Heimat: Certified with 84 points, 11 km long and voted the second most beautiful hiking trail in 2020. A really nice round that I can only recommend. We started at the hiking car park below the ruins of Koppenstein and did not walk clockwise as recommended. I wanted to save the ruins for the end - in retrospect …

We started the beautiful tour in Gehlweiler, we decided to run the tour counterclockwise. So we went up the "bone breaker path", which turned out to be useful.

On this tour you will be rewarded with beautiful views.
