The 10 varied routes offer you action and adventure, particularly brilliant for the little ones. But the adventure trails also offer pure hiking pleasure for ambitious hikers.
On your way through the Westerwald, a beautiful low mountain range in the Rhenish Slate Mountains, you’ll not only experience breathtakingly beautiful nature, some of which is really wild, but you can also walk in the footsteps of history.

The Erzquell-Stollen supplies the Erzquell Brewery Siegtal with great-tasting water, which flows through a four-kilometer pipe down into the valley. The spring water is free of minerals, germ-free and very soft and is therefore ideal for brewing beer. In 1902 the brewery took over the "Young Eichhorn" gallery, which was built in the 18th century, and renamed it.
