Basalt Lake in Basalt Park, Bad Marienberg

Highlight • Lake

An idyllic lake in a very quiet area. Ideal for walking and relaxing. There is all sorts of information about animals and plants and of course about the earlier mining of the basalt stone.

October 26, 2024,Unnau-Korb - Nistertal (Westerwaldsteig #8,6-6,9)

From Unnau-Korb station, the route goes uphill for a good six kilometers, although not steeply. From Wolfstein, it then goes down to Bad Marienberg, past a high ropes course, alpine-style restaurants and a former basalt quarry.
If you are thinking of ending your hike at the station in Nistertal or in Büdingen, you should remember that the Büdingen stop is …

February 28, 2022,Westerwaldsteig Tagestour von Nistertal bis Korb (7 + 8)

Today was the brilliant day to tackle the next stage of the Westerwaldsteig. Another day tour that is possible with a train connection. You walk parts of the 7th and 8th stage of the WW-Steig. As always, the path is well signposted - there is a diversion in the last stretch to Korb, which is also very well signposted. Like …

June 10, 2023,Fernwanderweg Der Kölner Weg-Variation - Tag 5 Et. 10 od. WW-Steig Et.7+8 Nistertal - Bad Marienberg - Hachenburg

The WW shows its mild face, spoiled by the sun, a wonderful summer day. The wind does not whistle coldly, but caresses the skin wonderfully. Fantastic feeling. We continue at 30* on the WW-Steig Tour 7+8. The 6km from the Nistertal up to Bad Marienberg lead us to stage 10 of the Cologne Trail from Bad Marienberg down to Unnau/Korb. …

March 1, 2025,⚒️ Westerwaldsteig um Bad Marienberg

Westerwaldsteig around Bad Marienberg with small shortcuts in the town itself.

The 3 km between Korb and Nistertal that are not on the trail can alternatively be covered by train, which runs hourly in both directions. Otherwise, the section goes along an unpaved cycle path between Nisteraue and the moderately busy L281.

The 07.+08. Stage on the WesterwaldStieg 👍🏻

Sadly, today is my last tour (for now) on the WesterwaldStieg.
This time from Nistertal to Hachenburg and now I'm already on the train heading home.
Of course with a laughing and a crying eye.
I'm looking forward to going home, but on the other hand I was so taken by it …

Good morning, girls and boys,
and the hike continues 😁😁. WW-Steig stages 7 and 8 are on the program today. It starts where it ended yesterday, 🤭 oh no 🧐, in Nistertal.
We start along the Nister and soon come to the cycle path that leads over the old railway line. Here we dare to take a little excursion to …

Try cosiness..🐢

Today was the shortest stage on the plan 🗺.
So I was able to take my time ⌚ and didn't have to worry about when I would arrive at my accommodation .. because I had already checked in 😤.

June 26, 2022,Westerwald Steig: Etappen 7 + 8 von Nistertal über Bad Marienberg nach Hachenburg

Highly motivated, with shoes that urgently need to be broken in for a tour in the mountains, we start stages 7 and 8 of the Westerwald Steig.
The Westerwald, home is simply beautiful and so in some places it is all the more incomprehensible why the paths are not clearly signposted in various places for visitors from abroad.
Today I …
