Just relax

Seven slate steles arranged in a cross shape offer a panoramic view of the municipalities of Allebach-Wirschweiler-Sensweiler-Langweiler-Kempfeld. In view are the "Wildenburg" to the east, the "Hohenfels" and the "Kirschweiler Fortress" to the southeast, the "Ringkopf" as a Celtic ring wall to the south, the "Erbeskopf" (Erbe's Head) at 816 m to the southwest, and the "Idarwald Ski Area" mountain range to the north. The position of the sun creates a form of time measurement via the shadows cast by the steles. The installation is accessible and makes the monumental energy of millions of years old slate, which was once the seabed, tangible, opening up different perspectives and possibilities for perception.

This weathered stone structure acts like a silent sentinel over the snow-covered Hunsrück Forest. Presumably once part of an ancient defensive or viewing position, it now stands solitary and open on the edge of the Burr Plateau – surrounded by ice, rocks, and gnarled branches. An atmospheric place steeped in history and offering a panoramic view. 💡 Tip 🧭 Approach carefully – on a clear day, the view through the walls opens up deep into the Nahe Valley.

The tower was unfortunately closed during our visit, but it's still a striking landmark on the tour. Even from below, it looks impressive and fits perfectly into the landscape. 💡 Tip: It's worth a quick stop even without climbing it—the area around it is a great place to linger.

The path leads you through the boulder piles at the Kirschweiler Fortress. You'll need sturdy shoes.

Here you'll find one of the beautiful loungers with a magnificent view of the landscape. A perfect place for a break.

Seven slate steles are arranged in the shape of a cross. From here, you can see the surrounding villages such as Allenbach, Wirschweiler, and Kempfeld. In various directions, you can spot special landmarks such as Wildenburg Castle, Erbeskopf (the highest mountain in Rhineland-Palatinate), and old fortresses. The shadows cast by the steles change with the sun, thus indicating the time – similar to a sundial. The steles are made of very old slate, which was once the seabed. You can walk among them, touch them, and experience the power and history of the stone.

A great place for a rest! Even though there are no benches, the rocks are sufficient.
