Züscher Hammer
Highlight • Historical Site
During the Thirty Years' War, the castle, village and hammer were destroyed. The rebuilding of the village and hammer began. At the end of the 17th century, the largest ironworks in the Hunsrück came into being under the rule of the Walloon immigrant Joseph Hauzeur. From then on, the Züscher hammer secured wages and bread for lumberjacks, charcoal burners, hewers, smelters and blacksmiths.
The factory was abandoned in 1852 due to unprofitable production and unfavorable sales conditions. This ended the approximately 150-year iron industry at the Züscher Hammer.
Opening times (May to October):
open again on Sundays between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. from June 20, 2021!
The site with a water wheel, charcoal kiln and information boards is accessible all year round.

Small viewpoint on the Mörschieder Burr
Highlight • Viewpoint
One side of the access path leads a few meters over loose rocks of the Rosselhalde Mörschieder Burr. You have to be careful here, as the Wacker wobbles and you slip quickly without sturdy shoes. Alternatively, go back to the rock path on the western approach.

Wildenburg Observation Tower
Highlight • Viewpoint
nlphh.de/blog/wildenburg-turm-vorerst-gesperrt-wegen-schaeden
The Wildenburg Castle ruins are situated at approximately 630 meters above sea level on the Wildenburger Kopf hill overlooking the Idarbach valley. It was the highest castle in the Hunsrück region.
Only a few remnants of the upper castle, perched atop a rocky outcrop, remain. A 22-meter-high observation tower was built on the summit of the rock, starting in 1980 and completed in 1981. From its 15-meter-high viewing platform, which is arranged in a ring around the tower, it offers excellent panoramic views. Orientation panels on the parapet explain the points of interest.
The spiral staircase and the covered viewing platform are constructed of concrete and are very stable, therefore there is little risk of vertigo.
... (Unfortunately, Komoot has combined the observation tower, the restaurant, and the wildlife enclosure into one highlight!)
