Over winding paths and natural trails, the beaver path leads through an outcrop of the Saar-Nahe mountain range, which gives the route several steep climbs. Characteristic are the protected valley meadows as well as original stream courses in which the beaver dwells.

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.
Pond 2
Hiking Trail · Sankt Wendel
From Winterbach to 5 or more ponds
recommended route Difficulty moderate

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.

    Sehr schöne und auch anstrengende Runde. Ich hatte zum Ende 600hm auf der Uhr. Absolute Stille und viel schönen Pfadanteil gibt es hier, der Wegezustand war gepflegt und top in Ordnung. Die Stecke ist auch sehr gut beschildert

    Mich stört etwas die am Anfang, bzw. immer mal wieder parallel verlaufende Mountainbike Strecke zum Wanderweg. Alles in allem ein gutes „ok“ von mir für die Tour.

    Die Aussicht auf den Höhenwegen ist wirklich herausragend. Bei sonnigem Wetter gab es auf den Passagen im Wald oder am Waldrand ausreichend kühlenden Schatten. Allerdings verläuft der gesamte Weg auf Schotter oder Asphalt. Deshalb gibt es einen Stern weniger.

    Schöner, abwechslungsreicher Weg, viele Azsblicke, Rastmöglichkeiten. Die Weiher kommen erst zum Ende hin. Dachten schon: "Thema verfehlt" und überlegten, stattdessen den Weg "Wurzeltour" zu nennen. Aber sie sind da.... Die derzeitige Umleitung ist gut ausgeschildert.

    Wir sind heute bei strahlendem Sonnenschein den wunderbaren Biberpfad gegangen. Haben zwar keine Biber gesehen, aber die Tour ist unbedingt empfehlenswert. Sehr schöne und viele waldpfade, die sehr gepflegt sind. Nur zweimal kurz verlaufen, mal wieder nicht aufgepasst. Fast alle raststellen einfach wunderbar. Nur die letzten 1,5 km über Schotter haben unseren geplagten Füßen nicht mehr gut getan, wir gehen den Biberpfad auf jeden Fall wieder

    Kaum verständlich, wie man sich bei dieser Tour verlaufen kann. Richtig ist, dass z.B. die Ausgrabungsstätten nur über einen asphaltierte Fahrradweg bzw. Straße Tholey-Oberthal erreicht werden kann. Sonst hat man die Wahl, ob auf naturnahen Wegen/Pfaden oder doch lieber auf befestigten Wegen, wie wir nach den sintflutartigen Regenfällen Mitte Juli 21.

    Dieser Premiumweg ist super schön. Super ausgeschildert und schöne Waldwege. Ein Genuss für Waldliebhaber.. Nach starkem Regen bisschen matschig aber mit den richtigen Schuhen kein Problem.
