Saar-Hunsrück-Steig Trail

Experience the variety

The Saar-Hunsrück-Steig from the Saar Bow to Idar-Oberstein, famous for its gemstones, or to the Roman town of Trier, crosses the heart of the Hunsrück hills. This premium-grade long-distance trail in the Saar-Hunsrück nature reserve takes in an impressive variety of landscapes: the vineyards and riverbanks of the Saar, Moselle and Nahe rivers contrast with the densely wooded hills and ridges of the Hunsrück uplands. Trekking along its narrow paths in the midst of nature you truly feel you are off the beaten track. The level sections with spongy leaf mould underfoot, pretty meadows or tranquil spots beside brooks and streams are ideal for taking a breather, but if it's adventure you seek, look no further than the trail's sheer descents, unspoilt moorland, challenging craggy sections and awe-inspiring narrow ravines!
