Eva-Loch Gorge
Highlight (Segment) • Gorge
One of the most beautiful points of the dream loop “Between the Woods”: The place popularly known as “Eva-Loch-Schlucht” is without a doubt one of the scenic highlights of the hiking trail and is also a real “insider tip” among locals. Unfortunately, the meaning of her name is not known.

Quartzite Stone Sculpture (Stone of the Year 2012)
Highlight • Monument
As a “signpost” and “time object”, the installation “Sun time between the woods” consists of a base stone for the night, a second large stone for the day and numerous smaller, layered stones for the hours. By means of bores in the large stone, the cardinal points can be identified in connection with the position of the sun and the shadow conveys the time of day. In the field of vision, from north - east to south - west, are the Wildenburg, the Hohenfels, the Kirschweiler fortress, the Ringskopf and the Pfannenfelskopf. Three sitting stones symbolize "past - present - future" and should invite you to linger. A time object was installed on the square made of quartzite rock weighing 12 tons and is 400 million years old. The “petrified” sea sediments are mined today in the Allenbach quarry of Steinwerk Allenbach GmbH & Co. KG (district Wirschweiler) and processed into: stone and gravel. The sculpture is a "signpost" that can be found in various forms around the world, often in striking or magical places and often made of layered stones.

(Note: The Allenbacher Weiher is 2 km away, so it would be nice if the name weren't constantly being distorted.)
