The municipality of Lierstal has created a beautiful, cozy rest area here, which is located directly on the Elztal cycle path.

Schacht Bergkrone rest area

Highlight • Rest Area

This small climbing tower was set up on the Elztal cycle path between Gunderath and Uersfeld. It looks like a mine shaft.

Bergkrone Mine Tunnel

Very nicely designed entrance to a former pit, the "mountain crown". Here barite was mined in two tunnels.

Old Post Square Fountain

Highlight • Monument

If you are interested, you can experience elms on a criminal literary tour, because - what probably very few people know: a Sherlock-Holmes novel is set there! Granted, not an original penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; But the author Franziska Franke (among other things a member of the "Murderous Sisters") let the ingenious master detective survive his fatal fall at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland (in a duel with Professor Moriarty). Now he has taken on the pseudonym Sven Sigerson and (in the role of Norwegian explorer) of course continues to solve criminal cases, including in the book "Sherlock Holmes and the Elm Monster", which tells the old legend of a giant fish living there in the maar / - kite (whatever) picks up.

Ulmener Maar

Highlight • Lake

This Eifel town is also on my very personal list of travel destinations for a literary tour, because - what probably very few people know: there, on the Ulmener Maar, a Sherlock Holmes novel is set! Granted, not an original penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; But the author Franziska Franke (among other things a member of the "Murderous Sisters") let the ingenious master detective survive his fatal fall at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland (in a duel with Professor Moriarty).

Witches, Hangmen, and Scoundrels is a beautiful hiking trail with plenty of peace and quiet and a wealth of medieval history. It's also great for cycling.

A great path takes you through the Elzbach valley. Surrounded by forest and always close to the Elzbach, you cycle through beautiful nature. Fantastic!
