ルハウネンの絶景の山頂・トップ6

You absolutely must do this climb; the view is priceless.

This legendary place lies between gnarled trees and jagged rocks – with a simple wooden sign, yet a mystical aura. The name "Witches' Dance Ground" lends the scene a very unique atmosphere, which is particularly intense in the frosty winter. A quiet, slightly eerie place with a sense of historical magic. 💡 Tip 🔮 Stand for a moment in the middle of the square – history can almost be felt in the quiet snow.

The Idarkopf offers excellent panoramic views over the surrounding Hunsrück heights. The new Idarkopf tower, a hybrid construction made of wood and hot-dip galvanized steel, was opened in December 2022 after the previous wooden tower, which was damaged by fire in 2018, was demolished in February 2022.

Place in front of a rock wall. There are also witches' dance places elsewhere, for example in the Harz and near Annweiler.

The observation tower on the Idarkopf mountain in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park, located in the EdelSteinLand region, offers breathtaking panoramic views from its height of over 30 meters. The original tower was destroyed by fire in 2018; now, a hybrid structure made of construction timber and hot-dip galvanized steel graces the summit.

Great view of Kelenbach from the bench at the summit cross

The new observation tower is a real eye-catcher. The platform is modeled on a bird's nest. 170 steps lead up. Those who are not afraid of heights will be rewarded with a great 360° panorama.

December 2022 After the old one burned down and had to be demolished, the Idarkopf (746 meters) now has a new observation tower. A steel staircase with 170 steps and 9 resting platforms leads to the viewing platform of the 31.1-meter-high tower. From this new highlight in the EdelSteinLand region, visitors can expect breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
