ブリュッケンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

At this beautiful spot, there's a bench of a different kind, where you can sit facing each other and enjoy the view in the same direction. An angle between the bench's legs makes this possible.

It is a memorial to an unpunished murder that occurred deep in the forest around 285 years ago. A large wooden cross stands on the base of the so-called Tirolerstein, located in the heart of the Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park and directly on the border between the Birkenfeld and Trier-Saarburg districts. A seating area in front of it invites you to take a break in the greenery. Since the former chapel in the nearby Neuhütten district of Muhl was converted into the National Park Church a few years ago, and since then, star hikes have been held there, the Tirolerstein has also been a place where believers occasionally hold services.

As part of the territorial reorganization of Europe following the Congress of Vienna, the Principality of Birkenfeld was formed in the Upper Nahe and Hunsrück regions, which was transferred to the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg in 1817. The then Grand Duke of Oldenburg chose the town of Birkenfeld as the seat of government and, between 1819 and 1821, built a palace above the town of Birkenfeld, which he used as his home and residence during his stays in the Principality of Birkenfeld. During his absence, the Oldenburg government president and the Oldenburg government of the Principality of Birkenfeld resided here. The palace was built in the neoclassical style.

The Museum of the Birkenfeld District Local History Association was built in 1910 in the style of a Roman country house. The ceremonial inauguration of the "State Museum" took place on October 17, 1910, in the presence of Grand Duke Friedrich August of Oldenburg. Founded in 1843, the Principality of Birkenfeld's Archaeological Society was proud to present its extensive archaeological collection to the public. To ensure the professional storage and exhibition of the ever-growing collection, the association added additional buildings to the building in 1954/55 and 1966/67. The Birkenfeld Region Tourist Information Center has been integrated into the Birkenfeld Museum since 2007. Source and more details: https://www.landesmuseum-birkenfeld.de

A Tyrolean trader was murdered here ages ago and the cross is a reminder of this.

A memorial to a murdered Tyrolean trader.

Traunen was first mentioned in documents in 1256, Brücken in 1374. Until the end of the 18th century, the current municipality was divided, Brücken belonged to the Hintere Grafschaft Sponheim, Traunen to the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken. In 1794, the left bank of the Rhine was taken by French revolutionary troops. From 1798 to 1814, Brücken and Traunen belonged to the canton of Birkenfeld in the Saar department. Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the region became part of the Oldenburg principality of Birkenfeld in 1817. The municipality of Brücken was assigned to the mayoralty of Birkenfeld in the Birkenfeld district, the municipality of Traunen to the mayoralty of Achtelsbach in the Nohfelden district. From 1918 onwards, both places belonged to the Oldenburg "region of Birkenfeld". The current district of Traunen was incorporated into Brücken in 1934. The municipality of Brücken became part of the Prussian district of Birkenfeld in 1937, and has been part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946. Brücken is known for the legend of Hinzhausen. According to this legend, there was a village in the forest that was struck by the plague. After much deliberation, the surviving residents decided to lock their village from the inside and burn everything down. This way, the rest of the area was spared from the plague. Today, it is said that there are still some ruins in the middle of the forest around Brücken. These ruins do indeed exist, but it is not clear whether they are left over from the tragic plague in Hinzhausen.

Wonderful rest opportunity, great.
