ゲブハルツハインの天然記念物・トップ20

Small but beautifully located pond.

Enjoy the peace and let it take effect

Beautiful nature reserve, with a circular route and information boards

A highlight of the slate mine is the opportunity to descend 20 meters into the tunnel. The mine has served as a supplier of slate roof tiles for Marienstatt Abbey and Hachenburg Castle since the Middle Ages. Having fallen into oblivion and only discovered by chance in an old document, the mine was rediscovered after a 17-year search and subsequently restored. Located directly on the Westerwaldsteig hiking trail, the mine is open to visitors year-round.

The "Elger" pond in the middle of a water protection area invites you to linger. Numerous benches and a small viewing platform on the circular path around the water offer the opportunity to do so.

In the Assberg slate mine you can learn a lot about slate mining in Kroppacher Switzerland. Among other things, a tour at a depth of 20 meters is possible. But I don't want to reveal more. ;)

The confluence of the large and small nests near Heimborn is one of the absolute highlights in Kroppacher Switzerland in the beautiful Westerwald. Here there are opportunities to linger and picnic in the valley floor. It is also a good starting point for hikes in Kroppacher Switzerland along the idyllic Grosse and Kleine Nister rivers - time for relaxation in wonderful nature.

Very nice, quiet location.
