Saar-Hunsrück Climb - 18th Leg: Altlay - Schauren – Blankenrath

Altlayer Schweiz

with the combination of varied rock formations, quaint woods, spectacular views and narrow paths when descending to the wild, romantic Hitzelbach.

Peterswald hermitage

Located in the middle of the wood, it is the destination for penitential processions on 1st May and Ascension Day. There is a Baroque altar to Mary inside and a wooden pulpit in front.

Blankenrath

The Blankenrath staging post has its origins in the 9th and 10th century. In the centre there are some semi-timbered buildings and the parish church, which was built in 1761, with a Roman tower from the previous church.

The Saar-Hunsrück Climb is a natural path that is on soft forest floor, grass paths or alongside streams for 65% of its route. But this special quality can result in problems after long periods of rain, making parts of the route difficult to walk. We therefore recommend wearing sturdy shoes.

Sure-footedness and a good level of fitness are essential prerequisites for walking this premium long-distance hiking trail.
