An adventure hike to make your mouth water. Mostly narrow paths. Here, the ground sometimes bounces like a trampoline. Roaring streams, quiet spots, the whispering forest - a path full of peace, seclusion, and inner reflection. It's good to know that the once-smugglers' paths now only serve to "smuggle" personal experiences. Still thrilling.

This over 18 km long hike, walked counterclockwise against the "official" direction, leads along the Schlittentaler Bach, the Hübelbergbach, and the Wahnbach and Kübelbach up to the highest heights of Saarland, into the seclusion of the Hochwald, which was still untouched in 2013. Today, also there right next to the border to Rhineland-Palatinate, wind turbines have caused trees to fall,
see comment from Ulrich Kaiser:
The new name Wildnis-Trail is partly meant to obscure the fact that the path no longer goes OVER the highest peak, the Schimmelkopf, but only along its slope. This romantic-sounding name (still partly justified by the Wahnbachtal passage) is also meant to distract from the enormous environmental damage caused by the construction of four wind turbines on the crest of the Schimmelkopf. Initially, it seemed as if the detour was only temporary. Now it seems there is a permanent interest in not confronting hikers with the consequences of an "environmentally friendly" technology. In fact, the original route in the area of the wind turbines is largely destroyed, and the trail signs attached to the trees have disappeared.

A somewhat extended circular hike from Reidelbach to Kell/See and back again. Extended because around 30 km were planned but it turned out to be almost 45 km. Apart from the slight frustration that I could have saved myself about 15 km by looking around better earlier, it was still an eventful hike.
