Mir hat diese abwechslungsreiche Tour sehr gut gefallen.

All reviews
The Beaver Path comprises winding trails and leads through an extension of the Saar-Nahe-Bergland, a mountainous region.  Hence, there’ll be a few steep ascents. The valley meadows you’ll see along the way are a nature reserve. Watch out for the creeks, habitat of the beavers.
