The hike, which begins in the former charcoal burner village of Lang­weiler, leads along natural trails through impressive land­scapes, earthy forest and meadow paths around the Steinbach dam.

You will start the hike in Lang­weiler, passing by the plaque of Wüstung Crop­penhof near Sens­weiler and then heading to Katzenloch. The trail will then lead you into the forest. When you even­tually emerge from the woods, you will gain a direct view of the Stein­bachtalsperre located south of Kempfeld and the surrounding forests. From there, the trail will take you past Bruch­weiler, a village that can be reached by taking a separate, 2-kilometre-long path. You will then head back to Lang­weiler, your original starting point.
