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!
