The half-timbered village of Mehren is considered one of the most beautiful villages in the region. Several noteworthy half-timbered houses and other interesting buildings are clustered in the village center. The late Gothic parish church, built in the 12th century on the site of an earlier wooden structure, is one of the oldest village churches in the Westerwald region. A striking feature is the added half-timbered granary, which was constructed in 1744 to address problems with the original double-tiered roof. Above the church stands the old rectory from the 18th century, a half-timbered building with a hipped roof. Below the church, on Mehrbachstraße, is the "Ahl Schul," the old school. This late Gothic half-timbered house is architecturally outstanding. Opposite the church, at Kirchstraße 1, stands another remarkable half-timbered house: a 17th-century farmhouse built in the form of a transverse farmhouse. Its roof is thatched. More beautiful half-timbered houses and farmsteads can be found throughout the town.

Beautiful wooden bridge over the Mehrbach stream. Very solidly built, practical, and with a good view of the stream.

beautiful old church that is not always open

You can really see a lot of old half-timbered houses here, as the entire town centre is a listed building

The area was significantly expanded and renaturalized through major clearing and mulching work in October 2024. It is a habitat for rare plant species that have been scientifically recorded.

In autumn 2024, the aging black shelter was replaced with a new structure. A panoramic lounger was also installed to better enjoy the view all the way to the Siegquelle spring on the Ederkopf in the Rothaargebirge.

Top cycle path and also safe due to the structural demarcation from the B8.

Beautiful, wide forest path. Well-paved, easy to drive on even in wet weather!
