Small but beautifully located pond.

Very nice environment! Great nature reserve with various ponds.

Crossing the Nister over the stepping stones is really fun. It may be a bit difficult for dogs, but in summer the dogs can usually swim through the water and cool off. But there is a bridge a little further in case you can't cross the stepping stones.

Enjoy the peace and let it take effect

A highlight of the slate mine is the opportunity to descend 20 meters into the tunnel. The mine has served as a supplier of slate roof tiles for Marienstatt Abbey and Hachenburg Castle since the Middle Ages. Having fallen into oblivion and only discovered by chance in an old document, the mine was rediscovered after a 17-year search and subsequently restored. Located directly on the Westerwaldsteig hiking trail, the mine is open to visitors year-round.

The detour is a must. Children should be offered a helping hand. But doable.

Crossing the nest over the stones can be fun for young and old

The "Elger" pond in the middle of a water protection area invites you to linger. Numerous benches and a small viewing platform on the circular path around the water offer the opportunity to do so.
