From Rheinstraße around Marpingen, a very varied hike with many exposed views, with cultural highlights, through the very beautiful Rohrbach valley (partly Bieberpfad). With a cozy lunch break in a Fisherman's hut. Somewhat strenuous but highly recommended.

The hike starts and ends at the sports field in St. Wendel-Winterbach. It follows the dream loop "5-Weiher-Tour" counterclockwise, which is why the ponds are found in the first half of the hike. Unfortunately, the ponds are apparently privately owned and not accessible for use. Another "unfortunately" is the destruction of nature caused by the construction of wind turbines: their erection always leads to the expansion of existing or creation of new paths; in Alsweiler/Bliesen, they have so far proceeded somewhat more carefully, as these accesses are (still?) not asphalted, but nevertheless - a wide wound.

A small climb towards the airport and you are already outside the residential area in open fields with beautiful views of Marpingen, the Härtelwald, and the Schaumberg. The path section through the Rohrbach Valley with its ponds and the meandering Rohrbach in quiet nature is worth the trip alone for this short but beautiful hike.
