Börfinker Ochsentour - National Park dream loop
Crossing the Traunbach: these two are taking the wet route. There is also a bridge, but it’s more fun to have your feet in the water.
The Börfinker Ochsentour familiarises you with Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park. About 10 km in length, this loop trail takes you on a hike in the midst of nature. The Ochsenbruch, a moor rich in plant and animal species located between Börfink and the Erbeskopf, is the tour‘s namesake. With a bit of luck and patience, you can spot rare birds like the osprey.
