The over 25 km long hike forms the final section of my walk on the Way of St. James from Echternach (Luxembourg) to Perl on the Moselle. I did it for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. There are some people who may be "godlessly happy," but I had my companion with me and was not alone. The hike leads from Fisch to the pilgrimage chapel in Rehlingen, passing several wayside chapels on the heights of the Saargau and even more "WEAs" (wind turbines). As one knows from Hape Kerkeling's book "I'm Off Then" about his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, the routes of the Way of St. James are rarely "premium hiking trails," and so I walked mainly on paved, mostly straight agricultural field roads, interrupted by short sections on the holiday lightly traveled country road, until finally between Borg and Perl the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig was reached. Only after passing under the Autobahn 8 did the ground become more natural and included some paths.
Here not only the animals feel comfortable...

An Atmospheric Start at the Three-Country Corner The Moselsteig trail begins at the French border and winds through the hills of the Saarland to Palzem, where the Moselle forms the border with Luxembourg. After a fairly steep series of ascents and descents on the Hammelsberg, this long, tranquil hike offers numerous sweeping views of the rolling hills and takes you through typical, quiet villages.

    Ein sehr schöner Weg, leider sind die Geländer an Treppen oft kaputt oder erst gar nicht mehr vorhanden.

    Super mooie route, tegen de klok in gelopen zodat we makkelijker begonnen en niet zo lang omhoog hoefden te lopen. Erg mooie vergezichten en rotsformaties. Veel bankjes en overdekte plekken.

    Eine wirklich sehr schöne Runde, sehr abwechslungsreich, viele Möglichkeiten für eine Rast. Ich empfehle eine Pause im Ewigbachtälchen. Die Atmosphäre dort ist der Hammer

    Was für eine schöne Tour.Heute bei schönstem Rosenmontagswetter gemacht. Perfekt ausgeschildert. Abwechslungsreich. Ein Stück des Weges plätschert links der Bach , rechts die Felsformationen der Kollesleuker Schweiz. Dazwischen läuft der Wanderer. Toll ! Ab Kilometer 9 bis Kilometer 11 ist der Anstieg etwas anstrengend. Wir haben ( 66 und 70 Jahre alt ) es auch geschafft . Angekommen auf dem Eiderberg kann man die wunderschöne Weitsicht genießen.Bequem geht es die letzten Meter zur Freudenburg hinunter.

    Schöne Wanderung auf angenehmen Waldpfaden mit viel Moos und Wasser. Ausgangspunkt war die Burgruine Freudenburg. Besonderes Highlight ist der Abstecher ins Ewigbachtälchen. Über die Kollesleuker Schweiz ging es vorbei an vielen imposanten Bundsandsteinfelsen zum NSG Eidersberg. Leider waren hier nur noch die vertrockneten Überreste vieler Orchideen zu sehen. Nach einem kurzen Stop in Webers Wirtshaus in Parkplatznähe ging es zur Einkehr in Trassem im Hotel Erasmus (klare Empfehlung ☝). Den Tag ließ ich dann in Saarburg ausklingen. Wasserfall mitten im Ort - wo gibt es denn sowas? Die Schwierigkeit ist als "schwer" angegeben. Das kann ich nicht bestätigen. Maximal "mittel".
