ダルシャイトのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

この小さなエリアは、不思議で眠そうな雰囲気があり、それ自体が特別な魅力となっています。この小さな周回コースは、種の多様性の小道の一部ではありませんが、道はすぐそばを通っています。太陽のベンチはかなり苔むしているので、ここを訪れる人はめったにいないようです。

The Kaiserstein near Mehren in the Volcanic Eifel is a regionally well-known memorial located in the heart of the Lehwald forest and commemorating the first German emperor, Wilhelm I. The monument, a basalt stone, was erected in 1897 and marks a memorial service held on the occasion of the emperor's 100th birthday, although Wilhelm I himself had died nine years earlier in 1888. The inscription on the front of the stone reads: W.I. 1797 - 1897 March 22. This ceremony on March 22, 1897, was a significant event attended by royal foresters, the Mehren War Veterans Association, five schools, and numerous residents of the surrounding villages, underscoring the veneration for the emperor at that time. The Kaiserstein is located in the Lehwald forest, west of the path leading from Darscheid to the Weinfelder Maar, also known as the Totenmaar. Today, it is a cultural monument from the Historicist and Art Nouveau periods and is located within the municipality of Mehren. The memorial is integrated into the region's hiking trails, such as the Biodiversity Trail in Darscheid, and serves as a historical reference point in the volcanic landscape of the Eifel.

Fun fact: when the festivities took place on March 22, 1897, Kaiser Wilhelm had already been dead for nine years. Wilhelm I, whose full name was Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig of Prussia, had already died in 1888. He had been King of Prussia from 1861 until his death and the first German emperor since the founding of the empire in 1871.

Somewhat unnoticed, surrounded by shrubs and covered in moss, it stands in the heart of the Lehwald forest between Darscheid and Mehren: the Kaiserstein. Many hikers and visitors pass by. Triangular in shape and somewhat forgotten, stands the monument in honor of the first German Emperor, Wilhelm I. It is a basalt stone, erected in 1897 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the emperor's birth, in the presence of royal forest rangers, the Mehren Veterans Association, five schools, and numerous visitors from the two neighboring towns. The inscription engraved on the gray stone reads: "WI, 1797-1897, March 22."

Unfortunately, the bench is now quite dilapidated, and the view is partially overgrown. Just take a few steps further and you'll have a beautiful view of Darscheid.

Unfortunately, the loungers are no longer in the best condition. However, that doesn't detract from the magnificent view of the highest peaks of the West Eifel volcanic field.

Attention: Bridge on the hiking trail no longer exists (December 2023), swampy terrain to the next bridge.
