Saar-Leuktal-Panorama dream loop

The starting point of this varied circular hiking trail is at the entrance to Trassem on the renaturalized Leukbach stream. The trail leads through an idyllic meadow area with impressive views between the old and new branches of the Leuk via the district of Perdenbach, with a short detour to the Josefskapelle chapel, past a former mill in the direction of the Kreuzkapelle chapel (built in 1704). On the grounds of the Kreuzkapelle chapel you will find an aboretum with a diverse and rare mixture of old and new trees. The dream loop leads uphill with a distant view of the Kahrener Hosteturm tower via a ridge path to the Kruterberg (285 m) with a fantastic view over the town of Saarburg and the neighboring villages of Kahren and Irsch/Saar. From the Kruterberg, the hike leads first along a hollow path and later along the European long-distance hiking trail E3 (from the Black Sea to the Atlantic coast) to the next vantage point with a distant view of the Hunsrück and a magnificent view of the Saar valley and the villages of Krutweiler and Serrig, the first wine-growing village downstream of the Saar. Continuing along the E3, past the Klein Heide refuge (290 m) and along varied mixed forest and meadow paths as well as orchards, the trail leads along the old Roman road (from Perl to Trier) to the Preußische Kupp, the highest point of the hike. From here, you can enjoy impressive views of the Saargau, the Saar valley and the Hunsrück. The route leads back down the valley to the starting point in the Leuktal, past two 300-year-old oak trees (natural monument) and a beautiful panoramic view of Trassem and the town of Saarburg with Warsberg and vineyards.

NEW: At the food vending machine on the corner of Mühlenstraße in Trassem, you can conveniently stock up on regional products for your hike or refresh yourself with chilled drinks.
