"Winter is the time of fairy tales and legends. There are very few legends that relate to the Altenkirchen-Flammersfeld municipality. The most well-known and beautiful legend revolves around an oak tree that grows in the Obersteinebach/Peterslahr/Burglahr state forest.

At the end of the legend about the enchanted knight maiden, it says: "Now I will remain enchanted until a tree has grown from the soon-to-fall acorn, from whose boards a cradle will be built. "The child cradled therein, having grown into a youth, can redeem me with a kiss," cries the Virgin, who even today, as an ugly toad in the forest in Obersteinebach, awaits her redemption..."

From Peterslahr, uphill or downhill along the Wiedweg/Kölner Weg, you reach this beautiful vantage point overlooking Burglahr. Unfortunately, there are no benches or seating areas for quietly enjoying the view.
