Shelter at Russenkreuz

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Five paths intersect at the Russenkreuz, so the refuge and seating for hikers and bikers from all directions offer an ideal break. The place with the small hill, on which two chestnuts frame the small iron cross, remains somewhat nebulous. During excavations, there was no evidence of a burial mound suspected there, nor is it known what the name "Russenkreuz" refers to, it was simply simply called that way in the vernacular. Still nice here!

Celtic Burial Mound with Cross

Highlight • Historical Site

The approaching path from the valley is accompanied in parts by a sunken path. This ravine represented the old route connection between Blankenheim and Nonnenbach, which ran through the forest at this point. At a path spider of five paths is a 1m high grave mound.
