Trekking camp “Keltenlager"

For more sustainability, more nature and environmental protection, there will be three trekking camps along the Saar-Hunsrück Climb in the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park from April. Overnight stays in the wild nature of the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park are only allowed in these camps. The hiking trails to and between the camps mostly follow the Saar-Hunsrück Climb. But some of them also follow other hiking trails.

The trekking camps are open from April 1 to October 31 and must be reserved and booked online in advance.
