    The Iron Hand was an important crossroads on the Hohe Strasse. The five fingers point in the directions for Weilburg, Blessenbach, Runkel, Camberg and Mainz.

        Great, I like signposts like this on a hike: It's important to use your right hand for orientation, otherwise you'll be walking backwards. I was told that sawmill employees often get lost here :-)
