A truly beautiful, challenging dream loop with wonderful views not only of Frauenburg, but also of Erbeskopf, Idarkopf, Wildenburg, as well as great views into the Nahe valley and of Idar-Oberstein with the Felsenkirche and castle. Also, Nahekopf with the Römerallee, the many picnic spots, the ever-changing topography, the varied trail guidance, and the well-maintained paths that mostly run through the forest characterize this hike.
Also worth mentioning is the rare amenity on dream loops: the wonderful refreshment option directly on the trail at the clubhouse of the Verschönerungsverein Hammerstein.
