휘빙겐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 산 정상

Also easy to reach on horseback, the path from Winden (with a few deposits) or halfway along the Gelbach valley from Dies / Eschenau is very beautiful.

Today (05/15/2023) the peak has grown again. The stone comes from Schönborn.

The "mountain station" hut on the summit cross, skis and a commemorative plaque inside to commemorate a legendary downhill run that led from the Michelskapelle via Windener Straße through the vineyards to the finish at what is now the children's playground in Weihern. On December 6, 1906, Wilhelm Kappes from Weinnur was the first skier to attempt this life-threatening piste.

Great located hut for a break with a beautiful view over Weinehr

Highest point in the Esterau, as the region around Holzappel is called. At the top there is a large pile of stones and a stone, although I'm not sure whether this should be a boundary stone or a "summit stone" ...?

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads have been erected as visible signs and attract the looks of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. " (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: “Wegekrossze. Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety ")

The highest! At 443 meters, it is the highest point in the Diez area and the surrounding area.

A bit like in the Black Forest
