Saar-Hunsrück Climb - 14th Leg: Herrstein - Forellenhof Reinhardtsmühle

The 14th stage of the Saar-Hunsrück Climb leads from Herrstein via Sonnschied to the trout farm Reinhardtsmühle on the edge of the village of Bundenbach.

The stage starts in Herrstein. Those arriving by car can use the large parking lot in Brühlstraße.The starting point is in the historic center of Herrstein, more precisely at Herrstein Castle.

From there, the first kilometers lead through forests and over mountain ranges with magnificent views. Thereby, the stage of the Saar-Hunsrück-Steig runs parallel to the dream loop Mittelalterpfad. After crossing the Hosenbach, wide views and forest formations await us. We hike to the Rabenkanzel, a large quartzite rock on the Hosenberg. We continue in a northeasterly direction, to Sonnschied. From here, the trail continues northeast and we follow the course of the Steinbach stream until we reach the small village of Rudolfshaus. From here it is another 800 m parallel to the Hahnenbach until we reach the Forellenhof Reinhardtsmühle, the stage destination. The hotel-restaurant "Forellenhof" also awaits us there.

The Saar-Hunsrück Climb is a natural path that for 65% of its route is on soft forest floor, grass paths or alongside streams. But this special quality can result in problems after long periods of rain, making parts of the route difficult to walk. We therefore recommend wearing sturdy shoes.

The Saar-Hunsrück Climb is a near-natural trail, 65% of which is over soft forest soil, grassy paths or along streams. However, this special quality can also lead to problems after longer periods of rain and make parts of the trail difficult to walk on. Therefore, sturdy shoes are highly recommended.
