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.

really great to look at, rare enough that something like this is still preserved

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

very nice ambience for small performances

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

The Broichhausen Motte is a natural monument zone. This was the site of a medieval castle south of Kircheib. The former tower hill castle was still inhabited until 1500. It consisted of a tower and was surrounded by two protective walls and a moat. The moat was fed by the Freiheitsbach/Griesenbach. Today, only the castle hill and the ramparts with moat can be seen here.

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.
