A very nice view of Kredenbach from here.

There was a cache here a few years ago, but it was removed some time ago.

The "world-famous" Kurtchen Bridge! Who doesn't know it? 🤣

In this gnome workshop, there are some figures nicely scattered around the forest. Nice to see.

Even with a geocache.

"... Station 22: Fountain of Youth - The area around the fountain "Fountain of Youth" was renatured by the Sauerland Mountain Association..." https://www.wittgensteiner-wanderland.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/kindelsbergpfad.pdf 😶‍🌫️ According to the photo instructions at the fountain, drinking the cool water every day helps to transform from the crumpled grandma to Heidi Klum. It's a matter of taste whether you really want to look like that - 🤣.

"The community of Kredenbach emerged from individual farms in the districts of Lohe and Kredenbach and the Wüstehof. In 1314, Everart the Dove van dem Loe is named as a witness and in a Wittumsscription from 1340 the farm in Kredenbach and the house in the Lohe appear.

Lohe had always belonged to the court and parish of Ferndorf. The owners of the old farms were the Messrs. Daube von Selbach, with Based in the Wasserburg zu Lohe, where they had also operated a hut since 1461 at the latest. The Wüstehof burned down around 1634 and was not rebuilt. After the Lords of Selbach died out, the Prince of Nassau moved into the Wüstehof and Lohe. After the After the properties of the Wüstehof and the Aher Hof were purchased in 1711 and the Vorwerk Lohe was loaned out to residents from Kredenbach and other towns, the Lohe house was sold to the communities of Ferndorf, Kredenbach and Müsen in 1819. In 1856, the "Bergwerks-Aktien-Verein Cöln-Müsen" acquired the Loher Hütte, but closed it down in 1861. From 1894 to 1950, the site was used by “Hiag” - later Degussa - as a factory for the production of vinegar essence, wood spirits and charcoal. The former Loher smelting and hammer works, a steelworks was named as early as 1489, were also known outside of Siegerland. In 1834 one of the first German coke-fired blast furnaces was put into operation here. Today Kredenbach is home to well-known companies in the iron processing, tool making and automotive industries."
