    The route passes by the Glashütter Weiher located in the water protection area, the Lindenbrunnen with Kneipp walking basin, to the 335 m high Kleber Berg near Spiesen. Then into the idyllic Kleberbachtal, which belongs to the fauna-flora habitat area Limbacher and Spieser Wald, and is under special protection.

    Author’s recommendation

    The pond owes its name to the Glashütter Hof, where a glassworks was operated from 1747. However, glass production was not profitable and the operation was discontinued in 1954. “The reason was that the neighboring glassworks in Friedrichsthal and Merchweiler already used coal firing, but Rohrbach was still dependent on wood firing,” as can be read in a nicely illustrated chronicle by the Rohrbach resident Karl Abel (“Rohrbach Nostalgia”). Dare challenge! Complete two rounds in the Kneipp walking basin at Lindenbrunnen.

    Safety information

    Attention:

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

    Seasonally or due to weather conditions, increased surefootedness is required on some sections of the paths.

    Please wear clothing and hiking shoes with appropriate soles suited to the season and weather.

    Please pay special attention to:

    Careful walking on the constructed stairs in the forest (they may be slippery due to leaf fall).

     

    TOGETHER WITH RESPECT

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

        Use existing paths, follow signs, and respect closures

        Leave no traces such as litter or dog feces and treat the path gently

        Respect other users of the forest and countryside

        Show consideration for animals and plants

        Plan in advance and use daylight

    DISCLAIMER:

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

    USAGE NOTICE:

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

    We also want to point out the risks and therefore ask you to stay on the designated paths and not to enter existing rock outcrops for safety reasons. Furthermore, we draw attention to the presence of natural forest hazards. Due to weather conditions, some parts of the path may be saturated and slippery and must therefore be approached with special caution. Solid footwear is recommended on all routes; surefootedness is essential.

    Use of hiking and premium hiking trails is at your own risk.

    MARKING AND SIGNAGE:

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

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot at Glashütter Weiher, the path leads left on the dam around the pond to the Lindenbrunnen with a very cold Kneipp walking basin. From here, it goes gently uphill on a wide forest path to the 335 m high Kleber Berg to the forest edge near Spiesen. Here the route turns sharply right through a former weekend house area downhill into the upper Kleberbach and then over narrow paths and trails towards Weißlbruch and further along the Weißelbach on a narrow path back into the Kleberbachtal and from here again on a wide path back to the parking lot at Glashütter Weiher.
