With a length of 10 km, the Frohn Forest Path is a city-near half-day route that leads on narrow trails and earthy paths through the northwestern Saar coal forest.
Impressive forest scenes with large and old trees, numerous streams and springs as well as a small gorge of the Rödelbach characterize the path.
After the hike, a trip to the nearby state capital Saarbrücken is recommended. The Frohn Forest Path is easily accessible from Saarbrücken by Saarbahn!

Attention:
Entering the forest and walking the hiking paths is fundamentally at your own risk!
Seasonal and weather conditions require increased surefootedness in some sections. Therefore, wear clothing and hiking boots with appropriate soles adapted to the season and weather. Caution is advised due to breaking branches and damaged trees. In strong winds and in winter due to snow and ice, there is an increased danger from falling trees and tree parts.
