Rothaarsteig Bridge over the Aubach

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful bridge over the Aubach, connecting the Breitscheid and Rabenscheid districts.
Edit 10/23: The shell of the bridge is finished, you can already go over. The railings are still missing, so it is still closed.

Bartenstein Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Bartenstein, also called Barstein, is 615 meters high. The name comes from a legend in which it is said that a long time ago a bard was chained to a rock on the Bartenstein and fed by the animals of the forest.

Bikepark Höllkopf

Highlight • MTB Park

The Höllkopf bike park right next to the ski lift includes several routes.

This route on the Höllkopf is completely developed and very well paved. It includes many investor curves and small offset jumps. This part of the bike park is more flow-heavy and very easy to ride on. Accordingly, the route is wonderful for beginners, but experienced drivers will also get their money's worth.

For certain reasons, wearing a helmet and protective clothing is mandatory on the route!

Höllberg Telecommunications Tower

Highlight • Monument

On the Höllberg is this 108 meter high telecommunications tower. As with most of the towers, you also have a nice view here. Not far away, is the fox-chewing, which is mostly my goal, if I come over here.

My God, it was chilly today, 7 degrees Celsius, no sign of spring fever. Even nature is holding its breath at the moment.
But, how beautiful it is when you drive through the green forest.
Something's happening at the old railway line in Breitscheid; the track has been cleared. Let's see if a new surface will be put on it. …
