Tips from the Community

Ingmar Schaefer
March 28, 2026, Roters Eiche Shelter

Unfortunately, the hut is locked. The bench has seen better days and the meadow in the picture has fallen victim to wild boars. Nevertheless, gratefully took a break here (March 26).

The soil here contains 20 times more lead and 2000 times more zinc than normal. This is what the calamine violet needs. The blue variety, "Viola guestphalica," thrives only here and 2 km south along the Wäschebach stream: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7785420 Its closest relative is the yellow calamine violet, "Viola calaminaria," on the zinc dumps on the left bank of the Rhine, especially Kelmis near Aachen. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6994835

To the left of the bank everything flows to the Weser, to the right of the bank everything flows to the Rhine. So think carefully about where you take a pee break! 😉

There is a small parking lot and a small new rest hut on the way to the abandoned town of Blankenrode.

The hut has been renovated. There are even toys and child seats. Information material about the audio museum is also available. A lovely place to rest and very well maintained!

While some routes might have gentle ascents, they are typically manageable for children. The region, particularly areas like the Schwarzbachtal Nature Monument, is known for its tranquil, untouched valleys.

This route is relatively flat and shorter, making it ideal for families with younger children or those looking for a less strenuous outing. While some paths might be suitable for sturdy strollers, it's always best to check individual route details for specific accessibility information.

What interesting sights or natural features can we discover along the family trails?

Schwarzbachtal is rich in natural beauty and interesting points. You can explore the extensive stream systems, like those found in the Schwarzbachtal with Krenkeltal and Haberg nature reserve. Some trails might lead you past unique features such as the Schwarzbach Bridge and Ford, or offer opportunities to spot wildlife. In some parts of Schwarzbachtal, like the Ahrntal region, you might even encounter beautiful waterfalls or artistic wooden sculptures along the paths.

Are there any viewpoints or landmarks suitable for families?

Absolutely! Many trails offer lovely views. For example, the Nadelblick Viewpoint – Insect Hotel on Bördenweg loop includes a viewpoint where you can take in the scenery.
