Lounger with a view of Gresaubach and the Hunsrück countryside
Highlight • Viewpoint
The Erzgräberweg premium hiking trail leads a bit across the Gresaubach district at this point. As a special highlight, a so-called Finnenbahn (Franz Klesen path) was set up east of the entry point by the Nordic walking team. The forest floor in the path area was provided with an additional springy layer of wood chips, which makes walking particularly gentle on the joints. Next to the Finnenbahn you can see deep ditches. These are sunken paths from historical times, when people still drove from Bettingen to Limbach with iron-shod wheels and wagons. The torn path surface was washed away down the slope when it rained and the cut path became deeper and deeper. Source: Text information board

Viewpoint at Großer Horst Quarry
Highlight • Viewpoint
The Great Horst is a stock-like intrusion made of latitandesite with a dimension of about 2700 m length and up to 1100 m width, which penetrated into the previously horizontally layered sediments of the Rotliegend and shifted them almost vertically in the edge area of the intrusion. The red-lying cover layers of the intrusion were eroded around 2.5 million years ago in the older Quaternary or later Tertiary. Source: Text information board

Limbach
In a list from 1150, Limbach is mentioned among the places that had to carry out an annual pilgrimage to Mettlach. In 1306, the knight Heinrich von Neipel renounced his tithe share in Limbach in favor of Tholey Abbey. Prehistoric traces from the Copper and Iron Ages as well as the Gallo-Roman epoch mark the land on the Primsschleife as an old cultivated land. Most of the history that can be reconstructed with written sources, Limbach was part of Lorraine (1291-1766). In 1814 Limbach became the seat of the mayor's office for two years under Austrian-Bavarian administration for the towns of Bettingen, Außen, Goldbach, Gresaubach, Neipel, Schünsch and Lindscheid. In 1817, under Prussian administration, the mayor's office moved to Bettingen. With the most recent regional reform of 1974, Limbach is part of the community of Schmelz.

Hölzershausen Chapel
In the middle of the Bohnental there was the village of Hölzershausen with a chapel, which was operated by an order of hermits before 1330, independently of the Tholey Abbey. The complex, which was still described in the 18th century under the patronage of Peter, was much more splendid than the neighboring Scheuerner church, went under in the 19th century. The "woods" ban was added to the town of Sch scrub. Today the Peterskirmes and a memorial cross still reminds of the place. Schufen is today the center of the Bohnental with its places Schänen, Neipel, Dorf, Lindscheid and Überroth and Niederhofen. The local history museum in Neipel provides information about the history of the Bohnental. Source: Text information board

On my last Nordic walking tour, I noticed that there were quite a few here. I didn't expect so many, though, and I'm sure I missed a lot.
Someone must have carved out their own path. Many thanks to whoever …
