Hiking
The Wunschsteine (wishing stones) near Mierscheid are located on a hill between Mierscheid and Lascheid in the municipality of Eitorf (Rhein-Sieg district).
Key information:
• Location: On the high trails between Mierscheid and Lascheid.
• Hiking: The stones are a well-known stage destination on the Dörferweg (Erlebniswege Sieg), a popular circular hiking trail through the Eitorf Switzerland.
• Background: It is a place steeped in mysticism in the open countryside/at the edge of the forest. There is currently no solid historical or pre-Christian (e.g., Celtic) evidence of a cult site, but hikers traditionally leave small tokens or wishes there.
