The Grimburg Castle is the town's landmark and was built as early as the 13th century. It sits majestically on a mountain spur above the valley of the Prims and offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding area.

Another highlight is the numerous hiking opportunities around the town. The Saar-Hunsrück Climb leads directly through Grimburg and offers spectacular views of the landscape.

    Sehr naturverbundene Strecke durch viel Wald, ab und zu auch Wiesen. Die Aussicht war mir allerdings zu wenig, daher 1* weniger. Highlights wie die Talsperre NONNWEILER und der Keltische Ringwall OTZENHAUSEN sind auf jeden Fall sehenswert und auch die Steinerne Treppe machen die Tour wieder etwas kurzweiliger.

    Sehr kurzweilige Tour, die sich in 2 Teilen beschreiben lässt. Erst überwiegend durch Wald mit mal breiten, mal schmalen Wegen. Paar Höhenmeter sind auch zu erzwingen. Die Highlights im ersten Teil sind die HOCHWALDALM und die GRIMBURG. Sehr idyllisch ist auch der 2. Teil, der überwiegend durchs herrliche WADRILLTAL führt. Dies kannte ich schon von einer anderen Wanderung und habe mich dort in den SAAR-HUNSRÜCK-STEIG sozusagen schockverliebt. Das Vorhaben, ihn zu begehen, war geboren 😄.

    Gute Tour Viele Sitzbänke zum ausruhen Am Anfang / Ende Aussicht danach nur noch Wald Abstecher zur Grimburg ist gut da die Tour sonst keine Höhepunkte hätte. Angenehm zu laufen.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung mit guter Wegführung - oft auf schattigen Pfaden und an plätschernden Bächen, daher auch an heißen Tagen sehr angenehm zu gehen.

    Wir sind 2 Etappen gelaufen. Sehr schön, anstrengend. Die "Alte Mühle " zum übernachten sehr zu empfehlen. Super schön, gefüllter Kühlschrank, kühles Bier, freundlicher Empfangs Chef. Ruhe und Erholung.

    Toller Steig. Sehr hoher Pfad- und Naturweg-Anteil. Geschickte Routenführung. Tolle Aussichten und viel Sehenswertes am Wegesrand. Lediglich vom Nattionalpark ansich war ich etwas enttäuscht, hier ging es zeitweilig recht lange über geradlinige Schotterwege. Aber das ist Jammern auf hohem Niveua ;-) Einkaufsmöglichkeiten waren streckenweise etwas rar, das hat Improvisation erfordert. Ich freue mich schon auf die zweite Hälfte ab Idar-Oberstein bis an den Rhein...
