ゾアシートの絶景の山頂・トップ4

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.

Here you have a beautiful view of the striking mountain, which at 746 meters is one of the highest peaks in the region.

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.

A path leads over the Teufelskopf along the ridge, the rocky side of which drops steeply to the Simmerbach.

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.

The new Idarkopfturm was opened today

This "gipfel" or peak is very easy to reach. It's only a few meters from the given pathways, and is easy to hike up to, although you do have to be careful since the ground is very stoney, and moss covered. Although there is not much of a view from up there because of all of the trees, it is one of the highest points in the Hunsrück and fun to have been on top. Next to the peak is also an ancient Grenzstein, or border stone that can be of interest. The peak also is the county line between two German counties.
