This view of the Middle Rhine Valley and Niederburg was created by clear-cutting a monoculture and provided with a relaxation lounger called “Des Kuckucks Ruh”.

Hohenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful single trail leads over the 505m high Hohenstein. In addition to an imposing, towering quartzite rock, 3 resting benches (partly weathered) along the way offer a resting place.

Großmördersnack Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The big killer snack is a great way to sneak around, just be careful, because the rocks of the Rosselhalde are rather dizzy and the gaps are bottomless.

April 10, 2022,Damscheid - 'Mörder'-Tour

"Großmördersnack" and "Kleinmördersnack" are not only funny names, but also rock formations worth seeing.

With Vogelsnack, Närrchestein and Hohenstein, the tour is really interesting and beautiful. The paths are mostly great to walk.

We ran a similar loop last June (komoot.de/tour/383824627).

So - really recommendable area!

Planned for a long time now finally done😉
In bright sunshine ☀️ we started at the hiking car park in Damscheid.
The “inner round” was the more exciting one.🌝
The “outside” is varied.

I discovered today's tour at @Uli_Z, thanks for the inspiration (komoot.de/tour/732531996)
We started at the hiking car park on the forest trail behind Damscheid and first we went to the Vogelsnack, a great vantage point with a summit cross, as well as a guest book (of course we left an entry and read yours), bottle openers and shot glasses. Passing …

July 23, 2022,"Mörderische" Tour bei Damscheid (frei nach Uli Z)

Today's hike was a combination of the Damscheid hiking trails Aldegundis, Fichte and Hohenstein.
We started at the hiking car park on the forest educational trail and then along the edge of the forest directly to the beautiful Vogelsnack vantage point. Then on to the Aldegundis hiking trail via the Aldegundis fountain, up to the Aldegundis chapel. Then it went …

Hiked a tour by Uli Z. today.
After 40 minutes the first climax comes. The bird snack. Of course, I also entered my name in the summit book. We continue on beautiful paths and paths to the big killer snack. Super panorama and nice break place. However, without a seating area, which is not a disadvantage. After a short time …

@Bruni L. found this tour on Komoot a long time ago and today we finally managed to hike it (I discovered by chance that @Uli_Z recorded the tour 😊).
The “inner round” is largely the dream loop Cuckoo Snack, with the great paths and small and large murder snacks and of course the Cuckoo Snack. The “outer circuit” is also …

January 10, 2024,Wanderung Damscheid Mörder-Snack-Tour

Beautiful hike with Uli. We have already walked this tour several times and it is one of my favorite tours on the Rhine heights because of the great views, lovingly landscaped rest areas, interesting rock formations, and quiet hiking trails. The paths of the dream loop “Cuckoo Snack” are particularly beautiful. All paths are very well marked.

May 23, 2026,Traumschleifchen Kuckucksnack plus bei Damscheid

Today we drove from the Eifel to the Palatinate Forest. With a hiking stopover in the Hunsrück. The loop offered many beautiful views over the Middle Rhine Valley. On the tour, we had some fun with Komoot, which kept talking about snacks. We then had our lunch snack at Vogelsnack. With a fantastic view from a shady bench.
The thermometer …
