View of Altenbrak from Böser Kleef (HWN 64)

Highlight • Viewpoint

My favorite for the most beautiful stamp location of the HWN. Idyllic and quiet location, off the beaten track and path. Two benches and the refuge also invite you to linger for a picnic

The Komoot designations are also not to be taken seriously, especially around the dam. Instead of S0, it is at least S3, as it goes downhill with roots. I even tested a tree for stability myself. …
