Immediately after the start, the trail begins a long, gentle climb along a forest stream. At the Gusterath barbecue hut, a fountain provides fresh, cool water. In Pluwig, after passing the sports field, you’ll come to a small lake that’s part of the open-air theater grounds. Every two years, the Karl May Festival takes place here in the old quarry. The stage set—a replica of a Western village—is open year-round. Near the Ruwer Bike Trail, which also serves as a hiking trail for a few meters, one of the most beautiful sections of the trail along the Ruwer begins.
On the way to Lonzenburg, the path first climbs steeply along the Starkelsgraben. The final ascent is via switchbacks. Passing meadows, you catch your first glimpses of the steep vineyard slopes of the Ruwer. Later, a stretch between forest and pastureland follows. Before descending into the Ruwer Valley, you can get a glimpse of the former Romika factory grounds in the Ruwer Valley. With a view of the Ruwer Valley and across the Hunsrück Heights, a bench invites you to take a break.
The trail has been certified by the German Hiking Institute with 65 adventure points.

Some sections of the "Traumschleifen" trails are steep, challenging, and slippery in rainy or winter weather. Therefore, hiking boots, sure-footedness, and good physical condition are essential for hiking these premium loop trails.Tips and suggestions

Roadbook
After crossing a trickle of water, we come to massive deciduous trees that once served as so-called “boundary trees.” Via a small, narrow forest path and a flight of steps, we reach the Gusterath barbecue hut, which invites us to take a short break. Heading downhill along a small wooden footbridge beside the Waldbach stream, then past the Ruwer River, we reach the K 57 in Gusterath-Tal. Cross the county road and follow it to the right for about 50 meters. Passing the Reh Inn, the hike goes uphill along a short, steep ravine path to a lookout point. The trail runs along a large pasture to the Lonzenburg fountain. After crossing the village road, the trail leads downhill below Lonzenburg through a low-lying oak forest on a path to the Rauls Mill.
The trail then runs parallel to the river upstream until it reaches the K63. After crossing the county road, follow the trail markers to the Karl May grounds. The Karl May Festival takes place here every two years. The trail then leads uphill back to our starting point.
