Discover the region

Buhlenberg is characterised by its idyllic location: Surrounded by green forests and rolling hills, this place offers a perfect backdrop for hiking and cycling tours. The region is part of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park, which, with its numerous hiking trails, is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Germany.

The "Alte Schule" museum, which gives an insight into the history of the village, provides cultural highlights. The annual wine festival also attracts many visitors - here you can taste regional wines and enjoy delicious specialities.

Another plus point is the culinary specialities of the region: here you can find traditional dishes such as Saumagen (pig's stomach) or Leberknödel (liver dumplings) as well as freshly baked bread from the wood-fired oven. Those with a sweet tooth should definitely try the famous Baumkuchen!

Even when the weather is bad, no one need be bored: Birkenfeld is home to the Nahebad adventure pool with various pools and slides as well as a sauna area to relax in.

For those who like it quieter, they can also simply take a walk through the spa gardens or visit one of the restaurants to sample local specialities.

In summer, activities such as hiking or cycling are the main options, while in winter the region invites you to go skiing. Buhlenberg is particularly beautiful in autumn, when the leaves of the surrounding forests turn colourful and a picturesque atmosphere is created.

Overall, Buhlenberg is definitely worth a trip - no matter whether you are looking for peace and quiet or like to be active. This travel guide provides all the necessary information for a successful stay!

    sehr schöne Wanderung. es gibt Umleitungen wegen Borkenkäfer. Wie die ursprünglichen Wege sind kann ich nicht beurteilen. Es gibt viele Bänke und die Wege sind gepflegt. Verlaufen kann man sich nicht, ist sehr gut ausgeschildert. Während der gesamten Strecke keine Menschen getroffen. Erholung pur!

    Auch wenn die Passagen mit abgestorbenen Bäumen etwas bedrückend sind, ist der größte Teil des Weges doch sehr schön.

    Eine richtig schöne Waldrunde über teils schmale Pfade und durch ein hübsches Moor. Start und Ziel ist am Forellenhof, in dem man auch einkehren kann.

    Zusammen mit dem Trauntal- Höhenweg gemacht. Besonders gefallen hat mir der Steg am Ochsenbruch die Hirschtränke und die Querungen der Bäche.

    Die Tour von Rinzenberg aus gegangen, der erste km ist dann schon sportlich, unbedingt die Aussicht am Wehlenstein genießen. Bis zum Forellenhof geht's dann fast nur bergab. Da hab ich dann die Börfinger Ochsentour eingebaut, auch sehr schön mit hohem Pfadanteil. Sehr originell die Hirschtränke "für Zweibeiner" und der Steg entlang des Ochsenbruchs . Dann Rast im Forellenhof (sehr zu empfehlen). Gestärkt gings dann am Traunbach entlang( erst ein leichter Weg zum verdauen) dann ein schöner Pfad bis fast nach Abenteuer. Ab da geht es wieder hoch Richtung Start mit sehr schöner Aussicht.
