ケシャイトの峡谷・トップ8

An idyllic spot along the Pfaffenbach stream, and the House of Nature run by the ANUAL Association (environmental and nature conservation) is also worth a visit!

A small highlight in Rhineland-Palatinate. The almost continuous cycle path is really great.

Visit Döttesfeld

A very attractive route.

Not only the Wiedtal itself is worth a tour. From there you can turn off at several points up to the Westerwaldhöhen and from there you can ski down charming routes with a great view back into the Wiedtal. It's a bit more strenuous, but it's easy to do, especially for e-bikers, and it's almost a must.

<< Cable car from the cap over the Masbachtal past Rahms to Wiedmühle >> "In 1883, basalt quarrying began in Roßbach/Wied am Häubchen. The basalt quarry achieved a significant boost when a cable car was built between 1926 and 1928 for faster transport and for more efficient processing of the stone material. A cable car was built over 4.5 kilometers from the cap over the MASBACHTAL past Rahms to Wiedmühle, to the next possible siding of the Westerwaldbahn. The largest span (distance between two supports) was over the Masbachtal and was 1,040 meters. An unusual building for the time. The construction of the cable car made the braking track to Roßbach superfluous. The cable car was actually only intended to transport goods. But there was also passenger transport. This quarry gave work and bread to many people in the surrounding communities of Breitscheid and Roßbach. The job was dangerous and exhausting. As early as 1941/1942, basalt mining at the cap was stopped again. The crushing plant and the cable car were consequently dismantled again in 1941/1942."

The Krabachtal, together with the Meisenbach in the upper reaches, is a romantic valley that has considerable recreational value to hike through. The Krabach is exactly on the border between Eitorf and Hennef, is about 10 km long and up to its estuary in the Eitorf-Bach. Opposite Eitorf-Merten it flows into the Sieg. The Krabach has its source in Meisenbach.
