Hiking is trendy and has become one of the most popular leisure activities among Germans. One of the most beautiful hiking areas in southwest Germany is without a doubt the Hunsrück Hochwald. Discover rocky landscapes, magnificent views and enchanted corners where nature can still be nature.
What excursions does the Hunsrück-Hochwald offer?
The Hunsrück Hochwald is a fascinating hiking area in southwest Germany with a 410 km long Saar-Hunsrück trail, 111 dream loops, trekking camps, regional delicacies, overnight accommodation and a national park app for exciting discovery tours. Pay attention to mindful hiking and nature conservation guidelines.
One- and multi-day tours through the national park
The 410-kilometer-long Saar-Hunsrück Climb and additional hiking trails are located in the national park. You can choose a day tour from the 111 signposted dream loops or put together your own individual multi-day hike.
Accommodation options
Various hosts along the hiking trails will treat you to regional delicacies. After an eventful day, you can relax here in a comfortable bed and start the next stage refreshed.
It's not just children who will be excited about the trekking camps. Here you can sleep under the stars and experience the sunrise in the great outdoors. The night camps are characterized by platforms in which eyelets for your tent are embedded. At the integrated table you can relax and eat the provisions you brought with you while listening to the sounds of the forest.
Plan hikes
The Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park app makes it easier for you to plan your hike. You can use this app to orient yourself later in the nature reserve.
You can take digitally guided tours at various locations. Spot a blue sign, open the app and scan the icon. Videos, audios, texts or quiz questions provide variety during the hike and bring you closer to the nature of the national park in an informative way.
Mindfulness is the top priority
