Selected alternatives for you
    On the Hunsrück plateau, the hiking trail leads through pastureland and with views of the Soonwald forest through the Kastellaun state forest. Secluded spots such as a former forest workers' shelter and the large former pond of the monastery invite you to relax and daydream. On the way, you will come across the Napoleon fir trees. According to legend, Napoleon sought shelter under the fir trees on his journey through the Hunsrück.

    The dream loop runs on soft forest ground around the Binnenberg between the villages of Laubach, Klosterkumbd, Neuerkirch and Horn. Along the way, there are sweeping views of the Soonwald ridge. In the middle of the forest, the former forest workers' shelter stands by a small pond. The hut at Klingelfloß was built on the model of a hut in the Carpathian Mountains. Following the path, you reach the pond complex of the former Cistercian monastery of Kumbd. Only the field and place names still refer to the medieval monastery, which was demolished down to its foundations. There is documentary evidence of a chapel at Kumbd between 1011-1018.
    Today, the ponds are a habitat for black storks and kingfishers, rare dragonfly species and amphibians such as the midwife toad and various newt species.

    The trail has been awarded 68 experience points by the German Hiking Institute.

    Author’s recommendation

    The old original "Klingelfloß" forest workers' shelter is located by a small pond. In bad weather, it provided shelter for hunters and forest workers in earlier times and is now the ideal resting place for hikers.

    Monastery trail circular route:

    From the edge of the forest, a path with changing views of the former monastery site leads to the community's well-preserved water basin, built at the beginning of the 19th century. From there, we walk along meadow paths past the back of the monastery grounds to the old monastery churchyard. The Cistercian convent of St. Maria was located in the neighborhood for over 4 centuries, of which only sparse remains of the walls remain today. On the information boards in the churchyard, we can read interesting facts about the 1000th anniversary of the local community of Klosterkumbd, which was celebrated in 2015. From there, we walk along the historic "In den Kirchäckern" corridor towards the "Auf Weiselstein" development area and then slightly uphill along meadow paths past the "7 Birken" barbecue area to the edge of the forest and back to the Klingelfloß dream loop.

    Roadbook

    The starting point is the Birkenhof in a wonderful scenic location. The meadow path leads us to the Klosterkumbder forest. From the edge of the forest, we have a beautiful view of the Soonwald. The dream loop crosses the Klosterkumbd state forest past natural meadows, along paths and unpaved trails. Situated in the middle of the forest, we find a very old pond complex as a remnant of a monastery. The monastery ponds have been preserved in their original form and left to nature. The trail leads us along wooden footbridges and paths alongside the ponds, then through the Laubach and Klosterkumbd community forest through mixed forests, thickets and coniferous forest back to the starting point.

    Der Weg neigt dazu schnell matschig und schlammig zu sein! Bei tagelang trockenen Wetter ist das vielleicht möglich einige Teilstücke sind aber schon schmal und der Wagen sollte schon sportlich sein:-)

    Es gibt einige Stellen die nur ein Waldpfad sind. Das ist mit einem Kinderwagen eine ziemliche Quälerei. Hier gibt es recht viele Fotos: Traumschleife Klingelfloss 09.05.21

    Nein ich glaub nicht, das man da mit Kinderwagen gut gehen kann. Es gibt da paar Stellen, die sehr schmal sind und auch sehr uneben.

    Direkt am Einstieg zur Traumschleife gibt es das Hotel/Restaurant "Birkenhof". Dort gibt es auch einen Biergarten. (Webseite: https://landidyll-birkenhof.de/)
