    Wonderful forest and meadow passages, fantastic viewpoints over the Hunsrück plateau as far as the Idarkopf and an idyllic stream valley characterize the image of the premium circular hiking trail. Numerous rest and relaxation opportunities complement the natural potential.

    Few inclines, which can be bypassed if necessary, offer easy and comfortable walking. Nevertheless, there are plenty of adventure moments along the way. The great views along the tour, such as the magnificent view of the railroad viaduct, offer a very special atmosphere. Catering is available directly at the start/finish point of the tour as well as in the immediate vicinity - in the town of Kirchberg.

    Author’s recommendation

    A visit to the historic town of Kirchberg should definitely be planned.

    Narrow alleyways, idyllic corners and romantic half-timbered houses still characterize the medieval town of Kirchberg today. The market square and the historic houses surrounding it are of particular interest. The houses surrounding the square date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. The ensemble of this rectangular square between the main street and the town hall is considered an important example of Baroque square design in rural areas. The buildings on the north side are aligned with the dominant town hall. The majority of the houses are half-timbered, partly plastered and partly exposed.

    Roadbook

    If you arrive by car, drive to the parking lot of the Landhotel Karrenberg and join the trail there.

    From the parking lot, the tour leads through a dense forest for a short time. The path then runs alongside the forest to a wonderful vantage point with a view of the valley and the nearby village of Dillendorf. A first sensory bench invites you to linger here. From the viewpoint, the trail leads along a wide forest path down into the peaceful Trübenbachtal valley before heading steeply uphill for a short while along a narrow, winding path.
    The trail continues along a forest path with a moderate descent into the tranquil Kyrbachtal valley. After 200 meters, you can either continue along the forest path and walk alongside the Kyrbach stream or turn right into the forest. If you opt for the second option, you will be rewarded after a short climb with a beautiful rest area with a large seating area and sensory bench as well as a wonderful view of the railroad viaduct near Nieder Kostenz, built in 1908. You should definitely not miss this. After the descent, the trail continues for around 800 meters through the idyllic Kyrbachtal valley.

    The circular hiking trail then leads slightly uphill for a short time along a narrow meadow path through a secluded wooded area with numerous opportunities to rest.

    Shortly afterwards, you follow a narrow path through a fairytale beech forest to the edge of the forest. Once there, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the town of Kirchberg.

    The last 1.5 kilometers of the tour lead back to the starting point of the hike via a forest and field path with few inclines.

    At many points along the premium circular hiking trail, themed boards are dedicated to regional history and the local flora and fauna. There are also numerous rest and relaxation areas along the entire route.
