Traumpfad Hochbermeler

From the parking lot at the Bermel sports field, a 200m long access path leads to the Hochbermeler dream trail, which is best experienced in a clockwise direction. After a short passage on a wide forest path, the trail leads left to the edge of the slope with an impressive view of Bermel. A little later, the path allows a detour to the old quarry, where exciting outcrops provide an insight into volcanism and the history of the earth.

Soft forest paths then lead steadily downhill to the outskirts of Fensterseifen. The small village is quickly passed and the dream trail quickly reaches the forest through flower-filled meadows. There it swings uphill to an old mini volcano, the Schälskopf. Now you hike across the open plateau of the Heunen and enjoy a magnificent view of the Thürelzer Bachtal valley.

The trail follows a meadow path to the right, crosses a stream in a small wood and shortly afterwards offers further views over the open fields. The descent into the quiet Thürelzer Bachtal valley continues past the Heunenhof farm. It becomes even more dreamy and idyllic after the junction at a bridge into the Kimpelbach valley. The Hochbermeler soon turns right into a side valley and runs uphill through unspoilt mixed forest to the historic charcoal burner's hut. Along a stream, the Traumpfad follows field and forest paths steadily uphill to the Hochbermel volcano. The trail circles the top of the volcano just below the summit, offering unique views of the basalt quarry that has been reclaimed by nature. The trail runs close to the edge of the former basalt quarry, high up on the Hochbermel. Here you can enjoy unique views before heading downhill on stony ground and back to the junction of the access path to Bermel.
