Schillinger Panorama Trail dream loop
From the meadow path between Heddert and Schilllingen, you can see the elongated ridge of the Black Forest high forest behind the valley depression in which Schillingen lies. The border between the federal states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland runs partly along the ridge.
Between pastureland and farmland, the route leads to the outskirts of Schillingen. The wooded ridge of the Osburger Hochwald, the source of the Ruwer, which rises at the Rösterkopf, is clearly visible.
The trail leads along forest and meadow paths to the Keller reservoir. The 13-hectare lake is a well-known local recreation and vacation area in the heart of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park. You walk along the Lehbach stream to the Schillinger Mühle mill. Shortly before the Hellberghof farm, the path turns off to reach the highest point of the hike. From there, you have a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding, wooded ridges. Down in the valley flows the Flonterbach stream. The trail follows the stream around the forest pond back to the Schillingen leisure facility, which is popular with day-trippers, hikers and mountain bikers alike.
The trail has been awarded 68 experience points by the German Hiking Institute.
Author’s recommendation
A botanical highlight in March/April are the daffodil meadows along the middle course of the Ruwer between the Schillingen leisure facility and the village of Zerf. The path to the daffodil meadows is signposted from the leisure facility. A daffodil festival is held every year at the end of March/beginning of April.
