General information

Directions

You pass the Mannebachtal sports and leisure facility. After crossing the Mannebach, you pass the Hinkelsgret caves, where the people of Mannebach hid from the Swedes during the 30-year war. The next highlight is already waiting for you: the descent to the "Schaufelstal", a romantic side valley of the Mannebach, which you hike up the valley to the western ridge of the Mannebach valley. Up here, you can enjoy a magnificent view: into the Schaufelstal valley, into the Moselle mountains near Trier, over the Vorderer Hochwald forest with the Saar mountains and to the Hosteberg mountain. The next part of the dream loop can be described as a highlight. A 1 km section through a "tunnel path" awaits you, with wonderful views of a high moor and the village of Mannebach again and again.The trail continues along the path that runs below the ridge of the Saargau to the river of life in Fisch. Here you can trace the different stages of human life from birth to death along a small river. Before you go, enjoy the wide view towards the Hunsrück and the 435 m high Hosteberg with its Geheimrat-Brügman tower. On clear days, you can see the highest elevation in Hunsrück, the 816-metre-high Erbeskopf, in the distance. After about 12 kilometres of medium difficulty, you reach Mannebach again through the orchard meadows on the "Bickel", through the Fischer and adjoining Mannebach valleys via the so-called "Fischer Pfädchen". Around 1800, the fishermen used this path to retrieve their church bells, which they had brought to safety in Mannebach, in a night and fog operation after the people of Mannebach refused to hand them over.Other access points are possible at the Fish River and the Mannebach Valley Sports and Leisure Centre.Texts and pictures with the kind support of Werner Weber, Mannebach!
