Gottschalk Spruce

Highlight • Natural Monument

Nice place to rest and tell stories!
Note: The marking on the map is not correct! The spruce is closer to the glass furnace. There are remains of Roman Limes towers at the marking!

Emsbach Stream on the Emstalweg

Highlight • River

Very beautiful valley with a historical background.

The old glass furnaces were here and the Limes ran along here.

The Zacken is a bizarre rock formation that is often used by climbers as a training ground. From the Großer Zacken you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Emsbachtal in the Idsteiner valley and over to the glass head.

Lümmelfelsen

Highlight • Natural Monument

From the Lümmelfelsen you have a wonderful view of the Emsbach valley and across to the Glaskopf (687m).
It's actually a beautiful place, but since there is a car park nearby, it can be very crowded even on nice days.
