    The 8-km circular hiking trail winds its way around Korlingen in an entertaining and varied route. It offers stunning views of the Ruwe Valley. The Naumeter Kupp or the Korlinger Wacken are ideal spots to take a break.

    A short 200-meter detour to the Bee Nature Trail is a lovely alternative for a rest with a view. On the Bee Nature Trail above the village of Korlingen, a rotating display panel and several small stations provide all the important information on the topic of “bees.” Hikers and visitors will find a ground-level cooler at this scenic rest stop, stocked with non-alcoholic beverages that can be taken in exchange for a donation from April 1 through October 31. This is a beverage cooler sunk into the ground. With a simple hand movement, the bottle holder rises—conveniently and with minimal effort.

    A good starting point is the “Galgenkopf” hiking parking lot on the Korlinger Höhe. Alternatively, you can use the parking lot in the center of Korlingen, right next to the former Benzmüller Inn.

    Author’s recommendation

    Take a break at the Naumeter Kupp and enjoy the great view of Waldrach and the Ruwe Valley!

    Safety information

    As a general rule, you enter the forest and walk along the trails at your own risk.

    Depending on the season and weather conditions, some sections of the trails may require extra caution to maintain a secure footing. Therefore, please wear clothing appropriate for the season and weather, as well as hiking boots with adequate tread.

    Roadbook

    From the Galgenkopftour hiking parking lot, we follow the Ko1 signs. The first section of the trail runs parallel to the Galgenkopftour “Dream Loop.” Above Korlingen, the trail winds through meadows with views toward Naumeter Kupp. After about 1.3 km, you’ll have the chance to take your first break at the Bee Nature Trail, located about 200 meters away. Here, you’ll find a lounge chair with a view and an earthen cooler with cold drinks available from April through October. The access path is signposted. If you want to enjoy the cool refreshments at the end of the hike, it’s best to start by hiking downhill from the hiking parking lot so you can enjoy the refreshments at the end.

    The trail continues past the Korlinger Wacken to the Naumeter Kupp lookout point—a hill between Korlingen, Trier-Tarforst, and Waldrach/Ruwertal. It rises to an elevation of 343.9 m above sea level and is marked by a summit cross.

    The trail continues downhill through beautiful stretches of forest until we reach the village of Korlingen. In the village, it’s worth taking a look at the Kulturkapelle, where concerts and cultural events are held regularly.

    The trail then leads back uphill across meadows to the hiking parking lot.
