A wonderful 12.8 km long hiking trail that balanced and varied showcases the beautiful natural landscape of the Hochwald. The path repeatedly alternates between forest and meadows. Wide views with panoramic vistas, bizarre rock formations of the quartzite cliffs, and the gurgling Ruwer, which is crossed twice, make this tour a great hiking experience. Special attention deserves the natural monument Heckelbuschfelsen in the Schillinger Forest. The formation history of the landscape-shaping quartzite cliffs in the Hochwald dates back over 300 million years to the Carboniferous period. The great hardness of this rock made of silica makes the quartzite resistant to weathering influences. The surrounding slate layers have been eroded much faster, resulting in bizarre and impressive rock formations.

The Ruwer-Hochwald loop
The hike is characterized by lonely forest paths and beautiful meadow trails with views of the Black Forest high forest and the Hunsrück. In between, powerful quartzite rock formations await to be climbed in sections. A certain level of sure-footedness is required. The view from the summit cross of the Gipfelkopf over the heights of the Black Forest high forest is breathtaking.
