Fischbach Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Beautiful path with a pleasant slope and some quaint "Canyon" sections. In former times the mine railway went up here.

Old railroad line

Highlight • Trail

Part of the squirrel trail from Niederfischbach. Highly frequented on weekends by families with children. So better go there during the week.

Old adit of the Fischbacherwerk mine

Highlight • Historical Site

Iron ore and lead ore containing silver used to be mined at this point, only a few remains remind us of it 🫡 most probably the rock breakthroughs of the mine railway. Here you can breathe history🏛️

War Memorial at Hellbachskopf (Giebelwald)

Highlight • Monument

A memorial was erected here in order not to forget World War II and its victims.
The three soldiers who were lying there were relocated in 1950.

My favorite trail. I like to use it when I drive down from the Giebelberg towards the soldiers' grave. Due to the slope, it looks quite spectacular, but is still easy to drive without any special technical skills.

Benches With Panoramic View on the Erzquellweg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Currently, the view is quite limited due to the increasing bush encroachment of the area.
The view extends to the Rothaar ridge.

Lurzenbach Parking Area and Viewpoint

Highlight • Parking

It used to be a sports field. Now it's just a dusty place. But in the area there is a source to discover, and it is a good starting point for tours in the gable forest.
