    The Kölschhäuser Koppe is part of the Lahn-Dill-Bergland Nature Park. A hike through the Hörre River to the Kölschhäuser Koppe is always a wonderful experience. Partly along the Landhege (land reserve), you can hike through the forest to the Koppe on beautiful forest paths and enjoy the nature.

    The Koppe itself and its surroundings became the first nature reserve in the old Wetzlar district in the 1930s. Otherwise, it would probably no longer exist due to continued basalt mining. Basalt cones up to 20 meters high can be admired there.

    They probably formed when a magma chamber opened and lava, heated to up to 1,200 degrees Celsius, flowed out and quickly cooled. Basalt has been popular as a building material for centuries. In the Westerwald region, basalt mining was a very important economic factor in the 19th and 20th centuries.
