Family-friendly walking and hiking route on paved paths. Views & panoramas in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park and the Mosel valley accompany you along the way.
On the Osburger Panoramaweg, you walk on paved paths with slight inclines around the local community. The family-friendly path mostly crosses open fields, offering ever new views and distant panoramas of the nearby and further surroundings.
Over 7.6 km, the path passes the Osburg chapel and the lake view. Along the way, you receive information at various distinctive points about the landscape and its use. Panorama boards explain the views into the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park and the Mosel valley.
A signposted shortcut at the junction by the chapel toward the lake view (at km 1.5) is the barrier-free variant of the path and is suitable for families with strollers or wheelchair users.
The path's realization was supported by the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park with funds from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
