In the best weather today we went on the Kirkeler Tafeltour, which partly runs along the Felsenweg, which alone makes the tour worth seeing.

But you always discover something new, on Saturday we had a lot of animals on our tour, today only one, but a special one, “robot dogs” 😉We met two hikers who hiked the tour with their …

Hello everyone, the hike we did today is for people who like to walk on narrow rocky paths. We liked the route because it is not the usual paths like where we usually hike. You can look forward to about 90% of the trails. Have fun hiking. Best wishes from the beautiful people 👍😃

Premium hiking trail past impressive rock formations and through beautiful forests for all seasons. The "must have done" in Kirkel.

It goes through beautiful forest sections, past impressive sandstone formations, past the only outdoor climbing hotspot in Saarland and to a beautiful vantage point on the Höllerkanzel from where the view extends far into northern Saarland to the Schaumberg. Types …

The starting point of this 8.5 kilometer circular tour is the car park of the Naturfreundehaus Kirkel. In our experience, walking counterclockwise on this path is much more pleasant and attractive. Spontaneously we decided today to tackle this little “walk” to Kirkel. Two days before, we rumbled almost 45 kilometers on the Nahesteig, so that it served us as a …

A beautiful tour through the Kirkel forest, embedded in the geological nature trail and the rock path. If you are interested in bizarre rock formations, this is the place for you. Climbing is not allowed everywhere, however. The start and end point is the Naturfreundehaus in Kirkel. This is a good place to stop for a break. The menu is …
