The dream loop actually begins under a wind turbine, which also forms the focus of this very informative hike. However, we started at the sports field above Berglicht. The path first led past the first "Wacken" (ice age rock deposits) to the heavily iron-rich spring (Haadwaldbrunnen), then led to the impressive Bergener Wacken, where you can also take shelter from the weather in the "Schinderhannes Cave." A nearly eerie, narrow stalking path through the undergrowth follows before you finally reach the open areas with the wind turbines and a beautiful view of the Hunsrück landscape.
The whole route is easy to walk, with few inclines, and is very informative thanks to many explanatory panels.

Hier ging es nach Heidenburg zur Traumschleife Wasser Dichter Spuren. Start war der Wanderparkplatz am Campingplatz.
Ein schöner Wanderweg wo ich mal wieder sehr viel erleben konnte. Ob es der Fuchs war der sich unbeobachtet fühlte oder die Drohn Wehranlage die mir ein Foto entlockte. Ich fand den Weg wunderschön und würde diesen immer mal wieder wandern gehen. Es war wieder mal die Natur die sich von Ihrer besten Seite zeigte.
