슈나이펠‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 천연기념물

The Eschfenn is a moor on the Schneifel ridge in the Eifel region and forms a special natural feature of this region. The terms "fen" or "venn" are often used in the Eifel to describe a moor or swamp. The Eschfenn is a unique moorland landscape located on the northern slope of the Schneifel, below the high point of the Schwarzer Mann. The moorland of the Eschfenn is of great ecological importance, as it is the headwaters of the approximately 22-kilometer-long Alfbach stream, which later flows into the Prüm river west of Pronsfeld. The moors on the Schneifel, including the Eschfenn, were formed by the constant excess of water, which prevents the complete decomposition of plant remains and instead leads to the formation of peat. Unlike fens, the raised bogs of the Schneifel derive their water exclusively from precipitation. The Eschfenn is a central element of the Schneifel Moor Trail, which has been designated a premium hiking trail. Hikers exploring this region are guided through the damp sections of the Eschfenn along rustic wooden boardwalks. These walkways are necessary to protect the moor's fragile ecosystem while allowing visitors to safely navigate the muddy passages. The area surrounding the Eschfenn is characterized by dense forest, featuring lush vegetation with carpets of moss and blueberry and cranberry bushes, which in places exude a mystical atmosphere. The Eschfenn and the surrounding forest sections on the Schneifel are not only interesting from a nature conservation perspective but also harbor relics from the war era, as the hiking trails often lead past the remains of old defense installations, such as bunkers from the former West Wall. Access to the Moor Path and thus to the Eschfenn can be found, among other places, from the hiking car park at the Schwarzer Mann blockhouse.

The term "long stone or menhir" is also known as "Hinkelstein," at least for the generation that reads its asterisks well!

The stone was erected in 1930 below the Black Man by forest workers in memory of the forester Ivo Jansen.

Great location, definitely worth a visit. If you look closely at the stone you can still see parts of the writing that was once there. Unfortunately the writing is almost illegible due to shrapnel etc.

When the weather is nice you have a great view over the Schneifel.

Der Schwarzer Mann is a statue that stands at the height of the Eiffel. And is located in the winter sports area of the Eiffel nice confirmation area for walking, with many attractions, such as a Dwarf boulder and remains of an old bunker
