The contrasts could hardly be greater: eerie beautiful wolf howling in the Merzig Kammerforst and later breathtaking silence on the Kreuzberg in the Garden of Senses. In between, a varied route along shady forest paths, colorful flower meadows, and a section through an apple orchard. In addition, wide views over the Saar valley and the Merzig basin.
Varied forests with a deep brook notch, a landscape of hedges and scattered orchards, and of course the wolves of the world-famous wildlife enclosure make this route a special experience. Because of the wolves and the short distance, the route is also ideal for family outings.
