Trekking camps in the Saarschleifenland

From the starting point in Perl to Wadern, nature-loving hikers can experience the unspoilt nature of the forest overnight on our five "Nature Campgrounds" and hike the Saar-Hunsrück Climb at the same time. Just the thing for all adventurous hikers and nature lovers who want to spend the night legally in the forest with a tent and rucksack. The campgrounds combine natural cosiness with a robust hiking holiday. On the Saar-Hunsrück Climb, which has been certified with 68 experience points by the German Hiking Institute in Marburg, making it the highest rated long-distance hiking trail in Europe, hikers can combine their holiday with a special overnight stay and experience stages 1-6 of the trail in Saarschleifenland to the full. A connection via the Saar-Hunsrück Climb to the trekking camps in the Hunsrück Hochwald National Park is possible. The distance to the "Keltenlager" camp is approx. 32 kilometres.
