Selected alternatives for you

    The very scenic hiking trail leads over varied paths, through shady forests and open fields. Four ponds, such as the Glashütter or the Wombacher Pond, invite you to take short breaks!

    A 14 km long route through attractive meadow valleys and forests, along streams, springs, and ponds, some of which invite you to relax, to oases of silence at secluded, picturesque small lakes. Along the way, several places to eat offer the opportunity to recharge, and several Kneipp basins provide great refreshment, especially in summer.

    Author’s recommendation

    On the hike, 3 Kneipp foot baths in Schüren, at the Glashütter Pond, and at the Wombacher Pond invite you to do something for your health. A real challenge in terms of cold is the Kneipp facility at the Linden Fountain at the Glashütter Pond! The arm bath is a few hundred meters further along the pond.

    Safety information

    Attention:

    Entering the forest and walking on hiking trails is fundamentally at your own risk.

    Seasonally or weather-dependent, increased surefootedness is required on some sections of the paths.

    Please wear clothing and hiking boots adapted to the season and weather with appropriate tread.

    Please pay special attention:

    Careful walking on the built steps in the forest (they could be slippery due to falling leaves).

    TOGETHER WITH RESPECT

    Friendliness, understanding, and consideration for each other is the principle for the cooperative use of our natural area. The code of conduct is:

        Use existing paths, follow signage, and respect path closures

        Do not leave traces such as litter or dog feces and treat the path carefully

        Respect other users of forests and fields

        Be considerate of animals and plants

        Plan ahead and use daylight

    DISCLAIMER:

    Despite repeated checks and careful elaboration of the route descriptions, the publisher assumes no liability for the accuracy and completeness of the information in this description.

    USAGE NOTE:

    Dear hiking friends, the trails also lead along natural paths through untouched nature reserves and forests. Preserving and protecting nature is very important to us.

    We also want to point out the risks and therefore ask you to stay on the marked paths and not to enter existing rock formations for safety reasons. Furthermore, we point out the presence of natural forest dangers. Weather-dependent, some places on the path may be soaked and slippery and should therefore be walked with particular care. Sturdy footwear is therefore recommended on all routes; surefootedness is indispensable.

    You use the hiking and premium hiking trails at your own risk.

    MARKING AND SIGNAGE:

    All quality trails are circular routes that can be walked in both directions. Therefore, signage is provided in both directions. Try walking the loop the other way around and you will discover completely new perspectives and views.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Roadbook

    The route starts at the Schüren hiking parking lot. This belongs to the Schüren recreational area at the Schürer Pond with a great Kneipp facility. The facility consists of a foot pool and an arm basin as well as benches and a rest area with two playground equipment for children. Past the town of Schüren, the path leads along the "Wildfrauental" above and then at Spiesen into the "Rödschestal." Please note: you will cross the L112 and before the "Rödschestal" the L243 – please watch out for heavy traffic!

    The path continues through the Rödschestal to the crossing of the L241 then further into the Spieser Valley to the Spieser Mill up to the Glashütter Pond. The Glashütter Pond is located in the idyllic Kleberbach Valley northeast of Rohrbach. The pond complex is a popular recreational area. At the Linden Fountain, you can complete a round in the Kneipp foot bath; the arm bath is located a little further along the path. The entire area is part of the water protection zone, so bathing is prohibited. The water surface covers about 3 hectares. The range of offerings around the pond is very diverse for those seeking relaxation, with an excursion restaurant and a managed hut inviting you to rest. Around the Glashütter Pond, you head again via the L241 towards St. Ingbert into the Rohrbach Valley straight on to the Wombacher Pond with a fisherman's hut and Kneipp facility. If you're lucky, you can watch the Scottish Highland cattle grazing in the Rohrbach Valley.

    The circular path continues over the L234 after a slight ascent to the Schwammwiesbacher Ponds (also called Sauweiher). From here, you reach the L112 again, cross it, and continue walking past the "Sioux Pond" with giant swing back to Schüren to the starting point of the hike.
