The Wied Valley and Neustadt (Wied) were once characterized by ore and basalt mining. The 8.7 km long Wäller Tour Basalt and Non-Ferrous Metals, signposted as a GeoRoute of the Westerwald-Lahn-Taunus GEOPARK, takes you on a journey to trace the powerful volcanic forces that once formed the ridge above the Wied Valley and their subsequent commercial exploitation. Further information on the region's geology and mining can be found at: https://wander-heimat.de/basalt-und-buntmetalle/
