Stream crossing and wooden bridge in Westerwald

Highlight • Bridge

Concrete ground in the ford, so you can really get through it at speed.
But please do not steer as long as you are in the water with the front wheel, the ground is quite greasy.

An idyllic lake in a very quiet area. Ideal for walking and relaxing. There is all sorts of information about animals and plants and of course about the earlier mining of the basalt stone.
