Selected alternatives for you
    The hiking trails run predominantly through forests of the municipalities Kaub, Dörscheid, and Weisel. The Tiefenbach valley provides the backdrop for these hiking trails, especially for variants B and C. In this valley are also the two former slate quarries "Kreuzberg" and "Glückauf".

    Safety information

    Wichtige Anmerkung zur Beschilderung: Zur Eröffnung der Wanderwege im Juli 2022 waren alle 9 Wanderwege der Harbach-, Urbach- und Schiefer-Runden A bis C durchgängig in beide Richtungen beschildert. Leider kommt es seitdem immer wieder zu Vandalismus: Schilder werden beschädigt, verdreht oder entwendet. Wir bedauern es sehr, dass die Beschilderung dadurch nicht immer zu 100 % vollständig und eindeutig ist. Unser Tipp für eine entspannte Wanderung: Wenn Sie sich in der Region nicht auskennen, nutzen Sie unterwegs bitte unbedingt eine outdooractive-Navigation. So kommen Sie garantiert sicher an Ihr Ziel!

    Roadbook

    We start on Jahnstraße heading towards Altpforter Straße and cross it at the height of the Blücher monument. Behind the Blücher monument, a path leads us down to a farm road. After about 300 m, we take a short detour to the Roman burial mound.

    We follow the signage and at the height have a beautiful panoramic view over the Hunsrück. After crossing the asphalt road, we keep slightly left on the short route variant A.

    We follow the signage but stay above the Tiefenbach valley and the Glückauf quarry.

    Shortly before Weisel, we meet again the middle route variant B and follow the signage through the new residential area "Auf dem Dewald" up to Birkenweg and further to the Blücher monument. Here we cross the Altpforter Straße again and walk back to the starting point of the tour.

    Postscript February 2023:

    Unfortunately, we had to find that on almost all paths the signage was "manipulated." Signs were torn down or smeared, posts pulled out and stolen, or reinstalled twisted.

    At first, we still tried to replace the missing signs, but now there is a lack of new signs and capacity to constantly walk the trails.

    We therefore strongly recommend using navigation for the hike on these routes and to look at the map.

    One can only speculate here about the motives for so much vandalism.
