ベルフィンクの天然記念物・トップ20

The highest point in Saarland is located in a very quiet forest. Without the sign you probably wouldn't notice it.

Along the wooden walkway there are many small information boards pointing out the flora and fauna that can be found here.

I found the dream loop that leads over a wooden footbridge through the Ehlesbruch more beautiful than expected. There are a few particularly nice places to sit here on the wooden pier.

An interesting building adorns the highest point in the Hunsrück. The view is great.

A beautiful and informative trail through the moor.

There is still a Celtic ring wall in Otzenhausen today, which is considered the best-preserved Celtic monument in Germany. The complex, also known as the “Hunnenring”, is 40 m thick and still reaches a height of 12 m today. Archaeological excavations are still active here. In the Celtic Park, at the foot of the Otzenhausen ring wall, a “real” Celtic village is currently being built, just as it might have looked 2,000 years ago within the huge fortress at the top of the Dollberg. The reconstruction of an authentic Celtic settlement is an essential part of the emerging Celtic park. When completed, the settlement will consist of a total of 10 residential, craft and storage buildings, the architecture and construction of which are based on historical findings and models. Preparatory work for the construction of the fourth and final construction group, consisting of a residential and a craftsman's house, recently began.

highest elevation left of the Rhine in Germany and a great vantage point

The Dollberg is 695 m above sea level. NN is the highest mountain in Saarland and belongs to one of the prominent mountain ranges in the high forest. These stretch as ridges running from southwest to northeast from the Saar to the Rhine. The ridges consist of quartzite, which in turn has its origin in sandstone. This was finally transformed into quartzite by pressure and high temperatures during the folding of the mountains in the Devonian. Due to its hardness, it is comparatively weather-resistant. As the surrounding, softer rock was eroded, the quartzite deposits were preserved as ridges. A beautiful hiking destination and, as the highest "mountain" in Saarland, of course also a highlight here in the region. https://www.naturpark.org/natur-und-kultur/natur/geologie/geopunkte-devon-permokarbon-nonnweiler-und-zuesch/dollberg
