The approximately eleven-kilometre easy to moderately difficult hiking route around the villages of Thalfang, Hilscheid, Dhronecken and Burtscheid guarantees a special hiking menu. Three drinks stations along the way and many rest and picnic areas are the highlights of the tour in addition to the impressions of the landscape.

With the “Windklang” sculpture on the Erbeskopf in view, the trail from the Hunsrückhaus climbs steeply upward. After that, it leads almost exclusively along natural trails through the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park. On narrow, dirt forest trails in the sea of trees surrounding the Erbeskopf, you’ll learn a great deal about the growth and decay of trees. Often, the only sound you can hear is the rustling of the treetops.

The hike started "well": The designated meeting point at the hiking parking lot near Thranenweier was not accessible because the narrow connecting road Hüttgeswasen-Börfink was closed for four weeks due to heavy clearing work in the national park (!). Thus, the hike began with a delay from the center of Thranenweier. The planned paths were also not "without challenges": At first, we repeatedly lost the paths, probably because they were hardly visible in nature anymore. Hence, a few walks in circles. After reaching the Erbeskopf via the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig, the return to the starting point on the paths planned with the help of the outdooractive map turned into an adventure: The paths either did not exist or were completely overgrown. We still managed but had to realize that the creation of a raised bog along the road, which was supposed to be the reason for the forest clearing work, is completely unnecessary: Considerable sections of the path in the thicket had swamp-like character. Conclusion: Following the path is recommended for all adventure seekers, the rest are warned!

    Eine absolute Traumtour! Der steile Aufstieg am Anfang hat sich definitiv gelohnt – die Aussicht am Windklang war einfach phänomenal. Danach ging es fast durchgehend über kleine, urige Waldpfade, bevor das Hangmoor noch einen richtig schönen Abschluss geboten hat. Für mich ganz klar 5/5!

    Schöner Ausblick vom Erbeskopfgipfel und sehr schöner Wanderweg. Für eine "Kleine Tour" genau das Richtige. Parken geht direkt auf dem Gipfel.

    Schöner relativ leichter Wanderweg mit schönen Weitsichten und tollen Raststationen(leckere,gekühltGetränke) und einem leckeren Eis(aus dem Automat) am Ziel. Hunde kann man problemlos mit nehmen. Der Weg ist allerdings größtenteils in der Sonne,daher im Sommer nicht für Vierbeiner zu empfehlen.

    Tolle Aussichten, was man vom höchsten Punkt in RLP erwarten kann. Anstrengend ist die Taumschleife, auch wenn es "nur" 7,5 km sind. Der Pfadanteil ist sehr schön, fast nur im Schatten 👍 Wir werden ihn nochmal im Herbst gehen, wenn es nicht so warm ist.

    Klasse Tour 👍 Wege naturbelassen. Schönes Gelände, teilweise tolle Aussicht. Wie uns mitgeteilt wurde, musste aufgrund einer Beschwerde im Sinne des Jugendschutzes die alkoholischen Getränke aus den Stationen entfernt werden. Völlig überzogene Reaktion seitens des/der Beschwerdeführer/s wie wir fanden! Nun sind alkoholische Getränke sicherlich entbehrlich, dennoch sehen wir die Bemühungen der Organisatoren dieses herrlichen Weges dadurch mit Füßen getreten und das ist sehr bedauerlich!
