background
The hiking trail leads through the natural and cultural landscape of the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve near Kleinblittersdorf and partly along the border with France marked by the Blies . On its route there are some viewpoints both of the Bliesgau and as far as France. Ruins of former villas can also be found on the way.
Scattered along the length of the hiking trail are wooden sculptures made by Raimund Maria Herzog. Formerly there were ten sculptures that were created in 2013. However, at least three of them have already been vandalized or stolen. The sculpture Der Kreisel also won third place in an internet art campaign by NDR .
The fauna of the hiking trail is home to little owls , scabiosa piebald butterflies , a large skylark population on the Auersmacher field and bats in the Sitterswalder Mühlenwald . There are also some protected parts of the landscape along the way.
description
The hiking trail begins at the hiking car park in Nauwieserstraße and first leads into the Mühlenwald and the Sängerheim-Waldhaus. The first waypoint is a Blies bridge, which leads over the Blies to France. On the German side there is a friendship stone designed by school children. On the other side of the Blies is the Bliesmühle Ceramic Museum ( Moulin de la Blies - Musée des techniques faïencières ).
The hiking trail then runs along the Blies and after a while then to the Mühlenwaldweiher. It then follows upstream of the Blies again. It also leads through a historic limestone quarry and past another Blies bridge , which leads into the French town of Blies-Guersviller .
The hiking trail itself leads through Bliesgersweiler Mühle , a settlement in the northeast of the Sitterswald district . After crossing the settlement, the route leads uphill into the local forest. With the valley of the two brooks, Brucherbach and Hengstbach , and the wet meadows and fallow land on Wehrholzer Weg, there are some protected parts of the landscape nearby.
Then the hiking trail leads through the Rexroth-Höhe and then past the Rexroth Park . On a slope it leads along an old dry stone wall . Then he reaches the Teufelskanzel, a rock formation on the Tiefenbachklamm , through which the hiking trail leads.
After leaving the forest, you will pass the northern shaft of the Auersmacher limestone mine . Not far from there you turn onto the Wehrholzer Weg , which is also part of the local Way of St. James . So here is the star field where stars are carved in the way. There is also a limestone with a metal plate on top, in which a compass rose is drawn. From here you have a view of the Vosges, weather permitting . The compass rose shows the distance to the Donon at 71 kilometers.
A little further along the path is the Bliesgau Blick , a viewpoint of the biosphere reserve, together with a bench and a large wooden cross.
After a few branches the path leads downhill again into the forest. There the route turns onto a farm road that leads to the thick oak . This oak is around 200 years old and also a protected part of the landscape.
Then the hiking trail leads straight ahead until you reach the village of Sitterswald and then to the left and after a few branches back to the starting point of the hike.
