Beautiful, shady location at the confluence of the Almersbach and Wied, bench nearby. People have been making pilgrimages here since the 13th century through a ford. The beautifully situated Almersbach church with late Romanesque origins stands enthroned above.

In my personal ranking, I divide the komoot highlights into those that offer something great (special viewpoints, cultural sights ...) and others that I classify as "useful to know", such as hiking car parks and rest huts. In the latter sense, a practical rest hut with enough space and benches on three sides.
