    Hiking

    Located directly on the path, a staircase leads into the forest and after 10m the "mountain" has been reached and you can almost look into the forest :-)

    Hiking

    The Galgenberg (356.1 m above sea level) in Nutscheid was used as the Windecker Hochgericht until the 19th century. Its location directly on the then heavily frequented overland road was intended to deter strange and dodgy people. The gallows place "Windecksgericht" is still a destination for hikes and those interested in history today. Only around 250 m east of it are three oaks that are several hundred years old
