Starting from Weinhotel Klostermühle, you can walk past the three fish ponds towards Ockfen. At the entrance to Ockfen, follow the green cycle path signage towards Irsch. Beyond Ockfen, follow the G3 signage into the Ockfen stream valley. After a long steady climb, you reach the "Krohkreuz". You continue hiking through the game-rich forest area at the "Praweltswald" and "Jungenwald". Continuing towards Wiltingen, you soon pass the Geispifferhütte. After passing the reservoir pond, you now reach the wine village of Wiltingen. Once in Wiltingen, you can walk downstream along the Saar to use the Saar riverside path as the return route. To do this, cross the bridge in Wiltingen, then head towards Schoden. There, you cross the weir to the eastern Saar side. Now, walk along the Saar and you will soon reach Ockfen again.
