プレックハウゼンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A very nature-oriented route in the beautiful Westerwald region.

"The Grenzbach stream, originally called "Waldbach," forms the border between the districts of Altenkirchen and Neuwied. Extensive renaturation measures were carried out here a few years ago. Large-scale spruce clearing (13 hectares) was carried out to promote light and natural vegetation. New, animal-friendly stream crossings were created, stream piping and small weirs were removed, and new bridges were built. Galloway and Heck cattle graze the areas year-round, keeping them free from reforestation. The section between Willroth and Linkenbach is grazed by Galloways. Another section, between Pleckhausermühle and the Wied near Döttesfeld, is grazed by a backbred aurochs, the so-called Heck cattle. Valuable ecological structures and wetlands have since formed and provide a valuable refuge for fauna and flora..."

Very nice small via ferrata, good for beginners

The old wooden steps have been largely replaced with alpine irons, making it easier to ascend and descend

Unfortunately the pump no longer works

A shelter with all kinds of useful information about the Grenzbach Valley.
