The Saar-Leuktal-Panorama dream loop surprises with varied views of the town of Saarburg, the Saar valley, the Saargau or to Kahren with the Hosteturm.
The starting point of the Saar-Leuktal-Panorama dream loop is located at the entrance to the village of Trassem on the renaturalised Leukbach stream. The trail leads through an idyllic meadow area via the district of Perdenbach, with a short detour to the Josefskapelle chapel, past a former mill in the direction of the Kreuzkapelle chapel. The dream loop ascends via a ridge path to the Kruterberg. From Kruterberg, the hike first leads along a hollow path and later along the European long-distance hiking trail E3 to the next vantage point with far-reaching views of the Hunsrück and magnificent valley views of the Saar and the villages of Krutweiler and Serrig, the first wine-growing village downstream of the Saar. Continuing along the E3, past the Klein Heide refuge (290 m) and along varied mixed forest and meadow paths as well as orchards, the trail leads along the old Roman road to Preußische Kupp. The route leads down into the valley with far-reaching views back to the starting point in the Leuktal valley.

General information
Directions
The starting point of this varied circular hiking trail is at the entrance to the village of Trassem by the renaturalised Leukbach stream. The trail leads through an idyllic meadow area with impressive views between the old and new branches of the Leuk via the district of Perdenbach, with a short detour to the Josefskapelle chapel, past a former mill in the direction of the Kreuzkapelle chapel (built in 1704). On the grounds of the Kreuzkapelle you will find an aboretum with a diverse and rare mixture of old and new trees. The dream loop leads uphill with a distant view of the Kahrener Hosteturm tower via a ridge path to the Kruterberg (285 m) with a fantastic view over the town of Saarburg and the neighbouring villages of Kahren and Irsch/Saar. From the Kruterberg, the hike leads first along a hollow path and later along the European long-distance hiking trail E3 (from the Black Sea to the Atlantic coast) to the next vantage point with a distant view of the Hunsrück and a marvellous view of the Saar valley and the villages of Krutweiler and Serrig, the first wine-growing village downstream of the Saar. Continuing along the E3, past the Klein Heide refuge (290 m) and along varied mixed forest and meadow paths as well as meadow orchards, the trail leads along the old Roman road (from Perl to Trier) to the Preußische Kupp, the highest point of the hike. From here you can enjoy impressive views of the Saargau, the Saar valley and the Hunsrück.
The route leads down into the valley with far-reaching views back to the starting point in the Leuktal, past two 300-year-old oak trees (natural monument) and a beautiful panoramic view of Trassem and the town of Saarburg with Warsberg and vineyards.
