We did this hike once before on December 7, 2012, in the snow. It was so beautiful that we decided back then to repeat it when it was a bit warmer. Today, almost 12 years later, that time has come. In the meantime, the trail markings have changed, and it is now signposted in two directions. It is a lovely nature hike with many great views. In Vichten, one should also see the replica of a Roman mosaic:

The municipality of Vichten owes its international fame to the discovery of a Roman mosaic in 1995, depicting Homer surrounded by the nine Muses. Here, you can view the replica of the mosaic as well as the exhibition of the remains of the Roman villa of Rippweiler in the museum and, if desired, book a lecture about the Romans around Vichten. It is located right next to the church, which is also worth a visit.

Additionally, you can visit the beautiful Lourdes Grotto, which is located a bit outside the center of Vichten.

Have fun on this walk,
