View of Haselstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

The hazel stone dominates the forest. A nice little path leads around the rock. Due to the many trees but you can see very little of the rock.

Wasgau Hut, Schwanheim

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice rest stop on Rimbachsteig or another hike. The host is friendly.
Unfortunately, you can also drive directly to the cabin. The descent to Schwanheim one must therefore share with cars.

Alone the good 200 meters long detour to Kühhunger rock is already worthwhile. It is a beautiful and level path on a ridge in the forest.
The view from the rock is very nice. A bank invites you to linger.

Wonderful tour through rocky landscapes. Great view over the valleys, of the Drachenfels - especially at sunset. During our break at the Wasgauhütte we had delicious cheesecake and Palatinate specialties! (Card payment possible)
