Your hike starts at the Angelweiher in Ockfen. Uphill, the route leads into the vineyards to the first highlight of this route: the Bocksteinfels. It is worth climbing the rock here to enjoy a magnificent view of the Saar valley. Passing the viewpoint Heppenstein, continue hiking to the Bismarckturm in Schoden. Your hike then continues through deciduous and coniferous forest. You should not miss a detour to the Schleidkreuz. Soon you will leave the main route of the Saar-Riesling-Steig and hike back towards Ockfen.
The Schoden-Ockfen DB train station is located in Schoden and can be reached via the Saarbrücken-Trier rail line.
