Round hammer rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

A hammer mill once operated on this site, hence the name. Today, you can look down into the valley of the Veldenzer Bach and the castle above.

Legends surround the Rittersturz, a striking rocky outcrop above Veldenz, according to which a robber baron once made a pact with the devil there. Those who dare can climb up to the summit cross and enjoy the view from there.

Far away from traffic noise, we tackled the 15 km long circular route near Veldenz on the Moselle. The landscape was dominated by narrow paths and idyllic stream valleys. The almost 650 meters of elevation allowed us to enjoy numerous views from the cliffs and the excellent signage showed us the way. However, we can only recommend this route to …

Me, no - We first say WOW and again WOW ....
This side trip is a real pearl in the Moselle region and definitely a top recommendation.

And that despite the fact that we are in the "not-yet-green season" and the Hunsrück forests look more like "grey-brown-black" from the many vantage points.
