🪨 Bärenfels rock outcrop – a striking vantage point above the valley The Bärenfels is a striking rock formation at the edge of the forest, offering expansive views over the region's forests, hills, and valleys. The rock outcrop juts slightly above the terrain and offers a natural panoramic viewpoint for hikers with a head for heights. Tip: In dry weather, the rock is easy to climb – sturdy shoes are a must! Ideal for a short rest with a view and a great photo opportunity.

The Love Throne is an impressive yellow sandstone sculpture located on the Sculpture Road from St. Wendel to Bostalsee. Children love to climb onto the throne and enjoy the view.

You really have to hike.

𝑫𝒆𝒓 𝑩ä𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒔 The Bärenfels is the second highest point in the rose forest. Until the 1990s you could see the water of the Bostalsee from Bärenfels. Today, tall Douglas firs prevent this view, but you have a wonderful view of the high forest and the birch fields. Source: Text information board

𝐃𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐬𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐧 The first evidence of coal mining in this area comes from 1780. The coal was close to the surface and could be extracted in open-cast mining. From 1820, four pits (called Prinzengrube) in the Tiefenbachtal were also mined in tunnels. The concession holders were the brothers Karl and Philipp Cetto from Langenfelderhof, today Wendelinushof. During this period there are talk of 136 employees who extracted almost 14,000 quintals of hard coal. In 1860 the operation was stopped because larger coal seams had meanwhile been discovered on the Saar and Blies. The miners reached the tunnel via the “miners' path”, which is now part of the Tiefenbach path. On their way they passed the source in the Tiefenbachtal and filled up their drinking water here. This spring is still known today as the miner's well. Source: Text information board

𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐫ü𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐦 𝐁𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐠 This part of the Bosenberg is called Bruchwald because there were several hard stone quarries here. The quarry, through which the Tiefenbachpfad leads, belonged to today's forest owners of the "Urweiler Erben". The first known lease dates from the middle of the 19th century. Stones were broken here until 1975. Loosening the stones from the rock layers was the job of the stone carvers. Up until the 20th century, this was extremely strenuous and dangerous work that was only done with the help of a riving knife, hammer and black powder. Day laborers and farmers from Urweiler were hired as unskilled workers, who supplemented their income through transport work from spring to autumn. In winter it was not possible to work in the quarry due to snow, ice and the risk of slipping. Source: Text information board
