Tips from the Community
The half-timbered village of Mehren is considered one of the most beautiful villages in the region. Several noteworthy half-timbered houses and other interesting buildings are clustered in the village center. The late Gothic parish church, built in the 12th century on the site of an earlier wooden structure, is one of the oldest village churches in the Westerwald region. A striking feature is the added half-timbered granary, which was constructed in 1744 to address problems with the original double-tiered roof. Above the church stands the old rectory from the 18th century, a half-timbered building with a hipped roof. Below the church, on Mehrbachstraße, is the "Ahl Schul," the old school. This late Gothic half-timbered house is architecturally outstanding. Opposite the church, at Kirchstraße 1, stands another remarkable half-timbered house: a 17th-century farmhouse built in the form of a transverse farmhouse. Its roof is thatched. More beautiful half-timbered houses and farmsteads can be found throughout the town.

It gets really steep at the bottom and since the road isn't the best, you really shouldn't drive at top speed here
