Family-friendly walking and hiking trail on paved paths. Views & distant vistas of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park and the Moselle valley accompany you along the way.
On the Osburg Panorama Trail you walk on paved paths with few inclines around the local community. The family-friendly trail mostly leads across open fields, which always offers new views and distant vistas of the immediate and wider surroundings.
Over 7.6 km, the trail leads past the Osburger Kapellchen and the Seeblick. On the way, you will receive information on the landscape and its use at individual prominent points. Panoramic panels explain the far-reaching views of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park and the Moselle valley.
A signposted shortcut at the junction at the little chapel to the lake view (at km 1.5) is the low barrier version of the trail and is suitable for families with prams or wheelchair users.
The realisation of the trail was supported by the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park with funds from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Continue along the information board with explanations about the use of the Thielenbach valley to the Osburger Kapellchen. Here, too, you will receive interesting information on the history of the chapel.
At the following crossroads, you have the option of taking the full path towards Seeblick or choosing the shortcut, which takes you further along the asphalt path towards Schornsteinwald.
The path towards Seeblick leads you along meadows and fields to the wooded area where you can catch a glimpse of the valley of the drinking water reservoir of the city of Trier and the Ruwer municipality.
Back in the direction of Osburg, near the chimney forest, you will pass another panorama panel explaining the view into the valley of the Ruwer & Moselle.
Through the village, the path leads along the multi-purpose hall back towards Hunsrück and gives distant views of the Osburg Hochwald.
