Route in the Warndt Forest in Saarland near Warndtweier

Departure from Völklingen (Regionalverband Saarbrücken)
Very well-signposted paths in the Warndt Forest (Saarland), a few kilometres from Creutzwald. You’ll follow the Hugenaux Trail, which crosses this German section.
The paths are made of schist with patches of sand, then there is a forest road and some stonier paths (small gravel). You will also use a section of the Nordicpark.
The paths are always at right angles to one another, so it is difficult to get lost.

Circular Sarre: it goes up and down. A short boat trip across the Sarre during the hike for a few euros. A magnificent spot, you can grab a drink at a bar by the water and then set off again. Really very nice.
