누스와일러‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Warning ⚠️. The Reinpfad trail is closed due to fallen trees. It is difficult and dangerous to pass. The trail is closed by a banner from the forest ranger indicating the danger. Unfortunately, there are no signs indicating a detour for hikers who are not local.

As of August 2025: Absolutely not rideable/walkable At least 25 trees have fallen due to wind damage, some in groups of two or three It's extremely strenuous to climb through them Better not try... There isn't even a sign indicating this 🤦🏻‍♂️

At this spot, in the forest northeast of Lviv, the trees give way slightly, creating a clearing where, at an altitude of 420 meters, stands the small sacred monument known as the "Croix Saint-Hubert." A low stone wall and a wooden fence create a small "sacred precinct," at the center of which is the well-preserved cross. At the very bottom of the lower section is the well-known scene from the Life of Hubertus, featuring a stag with a cross between its antlers. Above it, at the very bottom, are reliefs of two figures, the one on the left identified as a monk with his tonsure and habit; between the two images, the year 1786. Above this, rises the actual cross, which also bears the body of the crucified Christ.

This pedunculate oak has been registered as a "monument tree" since 2014. Its girth of almost 5 meters, its span of more than 30 meters, and its height of approximately 25 meters make it a remarkable tree. Strollers pause to admire its splendor. Its tortured form reflects its centuries-old history. This ancient tree, truly majestic, has probably witnessed significant historical events, such as the Revolution, since the reign of Louis XIV. It must have been a fine sight when, in 1814, the "Muehlgraben" cross was erected almost under its shadow. It is one of those wounded oaks, one that doesn't break even when struck by lightning. From its venerable summit, it can contemplate almost three centuries. Serene, majestic, and dignified, it embodies, with another oak at its side, the symbols of strength, resilience, and invincibility.

Nice view

A very nice rest area

A beautiful path. There's a lot to see here...gnomes, the robber Hotzenplotz, etc. And, of course, rocks.

Interesting information boards about smuggling at that time. Definitely worth reading.
