📖 The story

A superb find at Kastel-Staadt, on the Saar! A really impressive spot: the Klause Kastel, a former hermitage carved straight into the red sandstone cliff, perched high up with a magnificent view over the Saar valley.

The Kasteler Felsenpfad (Traumschleife) is a magnificent rocky trail where you scramble over rocks in places and follow the cliffs, with amazing formations and a very wild feel. A perfect mix of cliffs, technical rocky sections and wild nature: one of the finest corners of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park for those who like slightly adventurous paths!
