View from the Idarkopf

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view from up there. The observation tower was lit twice in winter 2018/2019. Since then he is in danger of collapse and therefore locked. Crazy's there ....

The new Idarkopf Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Idarkopf (746m) is certainly the most famous peak in the Hunsrück Idarwald. This certainly has a lot to do with the fact that there has long been a lookout tower here that offers a wide view over the Rhenish Slate Mountains. From the Idarkopf tower you have a wide view over the landscape: to the Großer Feldberg (881m) in the Taunus, the Donnersberg (669m) in the Palatinate mountains, to the Hohe Acht (747m) in the Eifel, the Fuchskaute (657m) in the Westerwald and of course to the Erbeskopf (816m).

However, the Idarkopf is not the highest mountain in the Idarwald. It is located a little further south on the ridge in the transition to the Hunsrück High Forest and is called An den zwei Steinen (766m).

Schwäserhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Shelter and barbecue hut above the Fischbach stream near Schauren.

The hut features a traditional Hunsrück-style swing grill.

A picnic bench is located in front of the hut, and several display cases provide information about activities in Schauren.

Rooty Trail in Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

No - the section is not even fun with the MTB, that costs man and material too much energy. Landscape is great!
