Relics from the past

Historic Wash Steps in Dietschweiler: Below the Dietschweiler Mill on the Glan River lies the former community washhouse, known locally as the "Wäschbach" or "Waschtreppe" (washing stream). The facility was built in 1889 and was regularly used until the 1950s and 1960s. With the construction of the railway in 1904, the Glan River was relocated, which also slightly changed the location of the washhouse. In 1986, the historic washsteps were renovated and listed as a historical monument. Today, a seating area with a table invites you to linger at this historic site.

🎨 Sculpture Trail at Lake Ohmbach Discover seven works of art by Lilau along the accessible lakeside path – from sandstone frames to oak sculptures to limestone sculptures. Each work of art tells the story of home, water, and balance – perfect for a walk with a sense of art and nature. Tip: Take a break at the "Heimat" sculpture – position yourself so that the lake appears through the sandstone frame. In the evening light, the "Pierre de Soleil" stone sparkles particularly impressively.

🎨 Art by the Lake No. 2 – "Home" An imposing sandstone frame (2.5 x 2 m) – prominently placed along the lakeside path overlooking Lake Ohmbach. It invites you to consciously perceive the beauty of your homeland as if through a window. Tip: Position yourself so that the lake shines through the stone frame – ideal for photography or capturing an intimate moment. The light is particularly magical in the morning and evening.

🎨 Art by the Lake No. 3 – "Unwucht" An expressive sandstone sculpture (2.30 m) made of local Palatinate sandstone – symbolizing the delicate balance of life. Located directly on the lakeside path, it blends harmoniously between the forest and the water, inviting you to take a quiet artistic break. Tip: Start from the south shore and reach "Unwucht" halfway through the loop – ideal for an elegant photo stop or a meditative moment with a view of the lake.

💧 Glan River Loops – Natural Elegance in Gentle Movement The Glan River winds its way through the landscape between hills, fields, and meadows in wide curves – sometimes leisurely, sometimes lively, but always close to nature. The loops offer beautiful photo opportunities and peaceful moments right by the water. Ideal for nature lovers and anyone who appreciates tranquility. Tip: The most beautiful views are often from slightly elevated field paths – especially in morning mist or golden evening light.
