ヒルツ・マウルスバッハのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

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.

The rectory at Mehrbachstrasse 8 was built around 1880 from solid natural stone. A striking feature is the projecting gable end, which juts out from the building and displays a cross in the brickwork. Next to it stands a single-story, half-timbered outbuilding.

The table group at the Peace Oak is heavily contaminated with bird droppings and is not recommended for a rest.

The local community of Hirz-Maulsbach continued to care for and protect the Peace Oak even after the inauguration of the hiking trail on October 14, 2017. In 2019, a new table and two new benches were installed under the oak tree.

The half-timbered village of Mehren in the Westerwald region won a silver medal in the national competition "Our Village Should Be More Beautiful" in 1983 and 1989. The Protestant parish church was built around 1200 and is one of the oldest late Romanesque village churches in the Westerwald.
