オルセンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Very well-maintained refuge! Great place to rest!

This newly built hut (2025) is truly a luxurious break spot: a forest sofa, a grill, weather-protected, sturdy tables and seating, and even more benches outside with a fantastic view. Perfect for larger groups, too! A picnic station and a trolley commemorating the basalt mining are also available.

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.

A new hut is being built there.

Memorial or another background to this place?

The blue stones, also called "pillars of the earth", are obviously once again a hiking highlight, see also https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/787607

A geological peculiarity from the old volcanic times can be seen here: the basalt steles that can be seen at this point have been given the name "The Pillars of the Earth". I don't know whether Ken Follet also knows this place :-)

Absolutely great, you can experience a piece of history here.
