Mullerthal Trail – Section 12: Hersberg–Scheidgen

From the starting point in Hersberg, the Mullerthal Trail leads first to Bildchen, an ancient oak, which houses a small statue of Virgin Mary. A relatively steep narrow path leads then parallel to Steebach on the plateau surface. At the foot of the steep cliff, prehistoric grinding grooves can be seen. The sandstone has been used to grind the stone tools. From there, the Mullerthal Trail runs througha beautiful landscape with forests, rocks and open areas.

After crossing the road, you pass along the Méchelskierch, a rockcave that, according to the traditions of the end of the 18th century, is said to have been a hermitage.

From this point, the Mullerthal Trail passes first through a wooden area and then after a few kilometers, further on narrow paths, past impressive rock formations such as Dachselee, Einsiedelei or Herrgottskapp. With a little imagination, you can recognize fairytale figures in the rocky walls. Scheidgen is the destination of this stage.
