Berger Wacken

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Berger Wacken is a large pyrite rock formation with many interesting corners and views. There is also a “Schinderhanneshöhle” hidden away.

The Langer Wacken section is around 200 meters long, up to 15 meters high and 20 meters wide.

The formation of the Wacken goes back to the Permian Age (250 million years ago). Huge fissures formed in the earth's crust. When hot, silicic acid-rich solutions had cooled down, quartz veins formed. This formed an impressive rock cliff. On the northwest side there is a five meter deep cavity, the Schinderhanneshöhle. This is said to have been a camp of the robber captain.

Visiting caves can be dangerous. When it comes to safety in all caves, please behave as if you were the first to climb.

"If you are in
going to a cave ...
don't take anything with you,
leave nothing behind
do not destroy anything and
do not kill anything! "

According to Section 39 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act, the bat protection period begins on October 1st and ends on March 31st. During this period, bats are legally prohibited from entering caves, grottos, bunkers, tunnels and other potential hibernation dwellings.

Roman road in the Haardtwald

Highlight • Historical Site

With the conquest of the Rhineland by the Romans, there was also the possibility of increased clearing and land grabbing for the previously remote southwest Hunsrück. The lively relief landscape between the high forests in the south-east and the Moselle valley in the north-west, which was only used by hunters and gatherers in the Stone Age, was only made accessible through road construction measures by the Romans. The most important long-distance connection in Roman times ran from the Mediterranean through the Rhone and Saön valley to the Rhine. Two roads led from Trier to Mainz: As an alternative to the Moselle route, the Roman road running here led as a faster and shorter route over mountains and valleys to unite with the Ausonius road at the height of "Heidenpütz" near Elzerath. It was mainly used by single-axle touring cars and light military units. It was a "Roman expressway".
