Ellerspring

Highlight • Summit

The tower is fenced wide. Therefore, the summit offers less beautiful views than it used to be on the Soonwaldsteig from the heights.

Shortly before Simmern you drive through the well-lit cycle tunnel (formerly railway tunnel).

Northeast of the Ellerspring summit is the 107 m high Ellerspring radio tower, which was built as a type tower FMT 11 in reinforced concrete. It is owned by Deutsche Telekom AG. TV and radio stations used to be fed into the cable from there. The tower supplied the districts of Bad Kreuznach, Birkenfeld, Mainz-Bingen and Alzey-Worms as well as the Rhein-Hunsrück district and Donnersberg district. Today it only serves as a reserve for TV and radio, but forwards the signal for cable TV via radio relay to the Bad Kreuznach radio tower for supplying Bad Kreuznach.

Why don't you write the same way as you get to this trekking camp. Why do I have to do some research first

In my opinion, the Lauschhütte is not quite what it appears to be on the Internet. It's a (hut) restaurant adjacent to an outdoor park, that's right. But I wouldn't say that you only meet like-minded people there and that this is a hut for hikers. It is only possible to wash in the disabled toilet (cold water) and hikers are not welcomed in the area of the actual hut. Drying room for equipment or shoe brushes so that you don't mess up everything in the room with your forest shoes. Since the usual guests are fewer hikers, you are not necessarily in good hands in the room if it still smells a little like nature after not washing your cat too thoroughly. I would like a little more here. We would also like to have an outdoor area for hikers. We weren't the only hikers that evening who weren't quite happy with the situation. The fact that there was no breakfast the next day (Monday) was tolerable, but it was a shame. Because this morning I think we set off with 7 hikers who would certainly have eaten something. Or would have liked to take something with you. Everything is whining at a high level! The food and the staff are great!!! There is nothing!!! Nevertheless, for me it is more of a restaurant with a connection to the Outoorpark than a "hiking hut". At the last minute (5:30 p.m.) we met two employees of the outdoor park who looked after us and showed us our campsite or offered us the trekking lodge upon request. That was really good. Because everything was wet and a little fresh. Cool, nice staff here too. We were also offered to hang up our things in a yurt. It wouldn't have helped much, it would have been of little use without heating. But it was nice that it was offered. We'll definitely come again. Maybe a little has happened by then. Have fun everyone on the Soonwaldsteig.

It's better to reserve a table in the guest room in advance, which is only possible online and there is no internet on site (Wi-Fi only for employees, not for guests). We were on the Soonwaldsteig to spend the night in the tree house (€60 / without electricity, light or heating element) on a very wet and cold day - so slightly frozen. The washing facilities only consist of cold water. Our request for a table in the warm dining room was denied quite emotionlessly. You could sit on the terrace (without heating elements) or try every now and then, currently and the next two hours would be full or too many reservations. So don't expect any favoritism for overnight guests.
