ヴィルガルツヴィーゼンのおすすめランニングルート

In front of the large entrance steps of the Protestant church, on the right, stands a large, martial-looking war memorial from 1938 (initially planned only for the fallen of the First World War; later, however, it was also intended for all victims of the Second World War).

A neo-Romanesque church dating from 1843 with an imposing twin-tower facade and a large rose window on the east side. Locally, it is also known as the 'Cathedral of the Queich Valley'. Source: https://wilgartswiesen.de/protestantische-kirche-wilgartswiesen/

Reaching this large viewing platform on the Rauhberg pillar requires a short (and not entirely easy) scramble, as there's a sheer drop right next to it. The view from this platform is fantastic; however, there is NO safety barrier!

The village community center features a festival ground and a fountain (beautifully decorated for special holidays). Opposite is the war memorial for the victims of the two World Wars. Behind the festival ground by the village community center is the "Bruch Nature and Adventure Area" with benches, a playground, etc., which leads to the large hiking parking lot at the cemetery.

Imposing 19th-century church building right next to the railway tracks.

The Rauhberg Tunnel is a somewhat unique tunnel on the Rauhberg, located between Hauenstein and Spirkelbach. The tunnel portals are very close together, perhaps only 40 meters apart. Despite this relatively short distance, two bends extend the effective tunnel length to perhaps 100 meters. The cross-section of the tunnel, including the portals' lining, is reminiscent of a railway tunnel, but is considerably narrower and lacks a slope at the base of the lining. The tunnel is only partially lined, with the aforementioned lining on one side, which quickly transitions on both sides into a roughly finished cavern without any further construction. Sections of the tunnel, particularly where it is lined, have a poured concrete slab, which is provided with a drainage ditch on the Spirkelbach side. The lining towards the Hauenstein portal is shorter and designed without a drainage ditch, as the tunnel floor drops by approximately two meters relatively shortly after the Hauenstein portal towards the beginning of the cavern. However, this depression is rugged.
