General information
Directions
You pass the Mannebachtal sports and leisure centre. After crossing the Mannebach stream, you pass the Hinkelsgret caves, where the people of Mannebach hid from the Swedes during the Thirty Years' 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 of the Schaufelstal valley, the Moselle mountains near Trier, the Vorderer Hochwald forest with the Saar mountains and the Hosteberg. The next part of the dream loop can be described as a highlight. A 1 km long section through a ‘tunnel path’ awaits you, with marvellous views of an upland moor and the village of Mannebach.
The trail continues along the path below the ridge of the Saargau to the river of life at Fisch. Here you can retrace the various stages of human life from birth to death along a small river. A picnic at the Fischer Lebensfluss site is recommended. Pick up some cheese, Viez, sausage and other delicacies from the Viezomat at Viezhof Hunsicker in Kapellenstraße 10a. Before you do, enjoy the sweeping view of the Hunsrück and the 435 metre-high Hosteberg with its Geheimrat-Brügman tower. On clear days, you can see the highest peak in the Hunsrück in the distance, the 816 metre-high Erbeskopf. After around 12 kilometres of a moderately difficult route, you reach Mannebach again through the orchards on the ‘Bickel’, through the Fischer and subsequent Mannebachtal valley via the so-called ‘Fischer Pfädchen’. Around 1800, the fishermen used this path to retrieve their church bells, which had been brought to safety in Mannebach, in a night and fog operation after the people of Mannebach refused to hand them over.Further entrances are possible at the Lebensfluss Fisch and the Mannebachtal sports and leisure centre.Texts and images courtesy of Werner Weber, Mannebach!
