The hike, which begins in the former charcoal burner village of Langweiler, leads along natural trails through impressive landscapes, earthy forest and meadow paths around the Steinbach dam.
You will start the hike in Langweiler, passing by the plaque of Wüstung Croppenhof near Sensweiler and then heading to Katzenloch. The trail will then lead you into the forest. When you eventually emerge from the woods, you will gain a direct view of the Steinbachtalsperre located south of Kempfeld and the surrounding forests. From there, the trail will take you past Bruchweiler, a village that can be reached by taking a separate, 2-kilometre-long path. You will then head back to Langweiler, your original starting point.
