View of Oberhövels and Steckenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always worth a walk.

You can sit quietly and relax on the benches up here if you want to take a quick breather after a long walk.

There are various hiking trails above Oberhövels, for example to Mühlenthal or Katzwinkel.

Scheuerfeld Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The Westerwald Railway dates back to the Krupp Mine Railway, which transported iron ore from the Steinebach mine to Scheuerfeld from 1883 onwards. In 1913, the meter-gauge mine railway was replaced by a standard-gauge line and extended to Nauroth. From 1930 onwards, the tracks extended to Emmerzhausen, and during World War II, even to the Lippe military airfield, today's Siegerland Airport.

The Westerwald Railway of the Altenkirchen District GmbH uses the existing line for freight transport.
