General information
Directions
You pass the sports and recreation facility Mannebachtal. After crossing the Mannebach, you go past the caves of Hinkelsgret, where the people of Mannebach hid from the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War. The next highlight is already waiting for you: the descent to the "Schaufelstal", a romantic side valley of the Mannebach, which you hike upstream to the western ridge of the Mannebachtal. Upstairs you can enjoy a magnificent view: into the Schaufelstal, the Moselle mountains near Trier, over the Vorderer Hochwald with the Saar mountains and to the Hosteberg. The next part of the dream loop can be described as a highlight. You can expect a 1 km long section through a "tunnel path", with wonderful views of a raised bog and the village of Mannebach.
The path continues along the trail below the ridge of the Saargau to the Lebensfluss (river of life) at Fisch. Here you can trace the various stages of human life from birth to death along a small river. A picnic at the Fischer Lebensfluss facility is recommended. For this, get cheese, Viez, sausage and other delicacies from the Viezomat at the Viezhof Hunsicker in Kapellenstraße 10a. Beforehand, enjoy the wide view towards Hunsrück and the 435 m high Hosteberg with its Geheimrat-Brügman-Turm. On clear days, you can see in the distance the highest peak of the Hunsrück, the 816-meter-high Erbeskopf. After about 12 km of moderate difficulty, you reach Mannebach again through the orchards on the "Bickel", through the Fischer and the adjoining Mannebachtal via the so-called "Fischer Pfädchen". Around the year 1800, the fishermen retrieved their church bells brought to safety in Mannebach at night via this path in a cloak-and-dagger action, after the people of Mannebach had refused to hand them over.
Further starting points are possible at the Lebensfluss in Fisch and the sports and recreation facility Mannebachtal.
