What you learn by hiking so everything. In the past I only knew the Niederwald near Rüdesheim (Niederwalddenkmal / Germania) and considered this a proper name. Only through recurring names elsewhere and by signs I learned that a coppice is a forest in which felled beech and oak trees from the tree stumps again and again and thus form rather bushy, low deciduous forests.

Here you go through low or crippled (oak) forest.
The bark was needed for the Gerberlohe. Other trees were always cut in the fall to have twigs for the winter furnace fire. For this reason, these trees never grew to their final size and was called due to their short stature as cripple oaks or cripples, the forest as a coppice.

Niederwald lookout point

The views from the edge of the Rhine heights into the narrow valley of the Rhine are breathtaking. The Niederwald viewpoint also highlights this wildly romantic character of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley cultural landscape. Standing on the ledge of the lookout point, one can understand very well how the philosophy of Rhine romanticism developed at the beginning of the 19th century. Decisively have this z. B. the poet Heinrich Heine, Clemens von Brentano or the painter William Turner contributed. If you mentally push today's modern and noisy infrastructure aside and allow yourself a moment of peace, you feel transported back to the time of the romantic Rhine. Source: Text information board
