Krebsbach Stream and Märzenbecher Trail

The Krebsbach, also known as Pferdsbach, flows to the left of the Ohm. Idyllic spot with a large parking lot right on site. Great start and finish for excursions in the surrounding area.

Boundary Stones Herrschaftlicher Wald – Schenckenwald (1779)

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Some good preserved boundary stones. This is where the historical border between the “Manorial Forest” and the so-called “Schenckenwald” runs. The stones are made of quartzite and bear the inscriptions HW and SW and the year 1779.

Harthschlucht Trailhead and Information Board

Highlight • Trail

Small parking lot. When the weather is nice, everything here is already occupied. Another option is to park at the campsite and start the hike from there.

View of the Ohm River from the Kamax Bridge

The ohms in their full width. Depending on the season, all kinds of waterfowl can be observed here. Many Canada geese feel at home here at the moment.

It was a very beautiful hike, the weather was perfect. Unfortunately, the stream through the gorge was very sparse and the snowdrops had already faded, but I knew that. Unfortunately, I hadn't made it in the weeks before. Despite everything, it's a highly recommended hike.
Coffee and delicious 😋😋cake on the way back to Niederoffleiden.

A very beautiful trail. In four weeks, with a bit more greenery, you'll be able to enjoy the forest in a different way. But today, too, there was enough luck and even blue skies along the way ☘️⛅️
