ツィンマーシートのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

ローマ帝国の長城の監視塔の基礎の上に建てられ、そこまで登って美しい景色を楽しむのは私にとって素晴らしい体験でした。塔の下の遠くまで見渡せる景色もすでに素晴らしいです。

The stream could be dammed here to protect the town.

You see things like this, but without an explanation, you often can't make sense of them. The description in the QR code is interesting.

A beautifully situated forest playground with good parking facilities.

Scan the QR code and you can listen to the recording, even if you're not hiking the Köhlerweg trail. 😉

A relic from the time of iron ore mining (limonite) are funnel-shaped depressions in the ground with a scree slope at the edge, known as pingen, which were created by the near-surface exploitation of the ore deposits. The limonite adheres in small pieces to the quartzite rock found here. It can also be found in trough-like depressions that have formed on the surfaces of greywacke and clay slate. However, the deposits in the Welschneudorf district were not very productive, so the excavations were soon discontinued. Source: www.emser-bergbaumuseum.de

The term Barbaricum, in connection with Welschneudorf, refers to the area of the present-day Westerwald region, which during Roman times lay outside the borders of the Roman Empire (the Limes) and was inhabited by Germanic tribes. The Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes, which marked the border, ran in an arc around the summit of the Weißen Stein (White Stone) in the immediate vicinity of the village.

Abandoned quarries, including those at Weißen Stein, bear witness to the extraction of quartzite and quartzitic sandstone, which were used as building materials. Until the 1930s, basalt columns were quarried at the Großer Dielkopf, primarily for road construction. There is also evidence of the extraction of pumice sand, a sought-after aggregate for mortar, as well as clay, which was used for house construction. Numerous bowl-shaped depressions (clay pits) can still be seen in the forest today. Deposits of limonite (brown iron ore) are also known to exist. Source: www.qr-kultur.de - Geology of the Westerwald
