      Shortly before the final descent of the Lahn Heights toward the riverbank, hikers and walkers are treated to a final, beautiful panoramic view. There's even a photo of this spot taken by the inventor of the Leica. Today, it's other manufacturers whose smartphone cameras are pulled out for a souvenir photo.

        This photo point is reminiscent of Oskar Barnack, the inventor of the Leica. It was here that he shot the first test shots with the "Ur-Leica" around 1914. Really great!👍🌞
