Selected alternatives for you
    The approximately eleven-kilometre easy to moderately difficult hiking route around the villages of Thalfang, Hilscheid, Dhronecken and Burtscheid guarantees a special hiking menu. Three drinks stations along the way and many rest and picnic areas are the highlights of the tour in addition to the impressions of the landscape.

    Three drinks stations along the way, which are stocked with "Ebbes von hei" products, including sparkling water, beer and wine, and many rest and picnic areas form the highlights of the tour alongside the impressions of the landscape.Six "pleasure windows" set up along the way open up ever new views and insights, with information boards providing insights into Hunsrück cuisine and information about regional products.

    UPDATE: The drinks stations (filled with water from Hochwald-Sprudel, beers from the Kirner Privatbrauerei and wines from the Thielen-Feilen winery in Minheim/Mosel, the Gorges-Müller winery in Burgen/Mosel) and the Gindorf winery in Schweich/Mosel will be open again from April 4, 2026.

    Please note: At the beverage stations, you will have to identify yourself with your ID card via so-called "age check readers". You can then purchase alcoholic drinks from the "Ebbes von Hei!" partners , butdon't forget to bring small change, as all drinks are paid for on a trust basis.

    The "Lecker Pfädchen" can of course also be explored in the winter months. The restaurants in Thalfang invite you to stop for a bite to eat afterwards. The picnic bag with regional Ebbes von Hei products (available from the Thalfang tourist information office and the EDEKA supermarket) is also a good alternative.

    The Lecker Pfädchen dream loop has been certified by the German Hiking Institute with 78 experience points.

    Author’s recommendation

    The "Lecker Pfädchen" dream loop was voted"Germany's most beautiful hiking trails 2023" (tours category) by the hiking magazine and came 3rd!

    Another tip:
    The hiking trail runs along the Thalfang barefoot path for part of the route (approx. 800m). Here, the hiking trail can be walked barefoot.

    Roadbook

    We start at the entrance to the spa gardens in the climatic health resort of Thalfang. We walk along the Langemerbach stream along a meadow path and then steadily but very moderately along a shady forest path up to Bäscher Höhe. After around 2 kilometers, one of six "windows of pleasure" awaits us, opening up ever new views and insights and giving us an insight into Hunsrück cuisine and information about regional products on information boards. Just a few meters further on, at the first rest stop, the "Bäscher Genusshöhe", you have the opportunity to enjoy "Ebbes von Hei" products. Water, beer and wine are on offer.

    The Genusswanderweg trail now leads through forests, past fields, orchards and small streams. Before arriving at the idyllically situated Dhronecken castle, we walk along the fruit tree nature trail. Once we arrive at the castle, we find the second enjoyment station below the castle tower. The trail now leads through the picturesque village of Dhronecken. We then enter an old deciduous forest and follow a steadily ascending path up to Reitzenhöhe. Once there, there are special views of the Hunsrück landscape for around 2 kilometers, accompanied by three special locations, the pleasure windows.

    Once you reach the highest point, the last enjoyment station awaits just behind the Burtscheid barbecue hut. There you can enjoy chilled drinks and a magnificent view. Passing fields and orchards, the route descends gently to the water treading pool. If you like, you can walk the last kilometer barefoot, because from there we walk along the Thalfang barefoot path back to the starting point. Once you arrive in the climatic health resort of Thalfang, you can stop for a bite to eat at various restaurants serving Hunsrück cuisine, a café with an adjacent ice cream vending machine and other places to stop for refreshments. All are within walking distance of approx. 100 - 300 meters.

    A small request to all hikers with four-legged friends: please keep your dogs on a lead - the wild animals and the natural landscape will thank you!

    Kurz und knapp aber vielen Dank. Das habe ich mir auch schon gedacht, weil es wohl weite Strecken über freies Gelände geht. Dann warten wir bis zum Herbst . . . Schönes wochenende
