Today we headed over to the Schäl Sick, where, in addition to the Rheinsteig, there are several beautiful circular hiking trails. In the Westerwald, these include the Wäller Touren (Wäller Tours). Today's Stöffel route focuses on basalt mining in the region. The section along the Nister River is also very beautiful.

If I'd known how long the tour was, I would have skipped …

A brand new hiking trail. The path we took to the Nistertal Bridge is very steep. You can also get to the bridge via a path around the outside (we discovered this later 🙄)
Very nice hiking trail.
