Nohfelden: The Nahe spring, trails and nature

The Nahe spring recreation area is located near Selbach. Here, exercise, nature watching and play go hand in hand. The 5.5-kilometre Nahe spring trail includes adventure features such as swings, balancing, climbing and crawling. If you would like to plan a longer route for an outing, you can use this trail as a guide. The various features give the route more than one focus: as well as walking, it also offers small physical challenges.

Wildlife watching and play at the Nahe spring

Visitors to the recreation area can see donkeys, goats, mouflon, fallow deer and a peacock. The facilities also include a bee education trail, a climbing playground, a water playground and fitness stations. This brings wildlife watching, insights into the world of bees and a range of activities together in one place. When planning your day, you can decide whether to focus on animals, play and water, or exercise on the trail.

Cycling or exploring on foot

The Nahe spring is a starting point for the Nahe Cycle Route, which follows the river towards Bingen. Nordic walking routes and other short walking paths also start there. There are several ways to explore the surroundings on foot or by bike: the Nahe Cycle Route follows the river, while Nordic walking and the shorter paths offer other route options. The best choice depends mainly on whether you are planning a cycling tour, a Nordic walk or a stroll.

Culture and trails in Sankt Wendel

The Catholic parish and pilgrimage church of St. Wendelin is a landmark of Sankt Wendel. The church is a Late Gothic hall church; construction began in the mid-14th century. The classic city tour passes through the old town within the former historic ring of the city walls. If you plan to join this tour, check the dates in advance. The “City by Lantern Light” tour offers a different perspective on the old town, with a night watchman accompanying the group.

The St. Wendel Museum displays works and objects from the region’s art and cultural history in its permanent exhibition. Outside, the Sculpture Road offers a different experience: it stretches for 25 kilometres, starts in Sankt Wendel and features 58 large stone blocks. The route is suitable for a walk or a cycling tour. Sankt Wendel also has a 200-kilometre network of well-developed, signposted cycle routes for families, recreational cyclists and ambitious athletes. The town is set in the varied landscape of the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park.
