View of Erfweiler

Highlight • Viewpoint

On one of the many paths around the Winterkirchel, hikers can expect an unexpected, beautiful view towards the Altdahn castle massif. The village of Erfweiler is at your feet. A table and two benches invite you to rest. The direct ascent from the hiking car park in Erfweiler is steep and a bit tedious - but worth it. If you like it less strenuous, just choose one of the other ways to get there.

Small chapel in the middle of the forest. Anyone who wants can light a candle for a small donation and ring the bell that sounds bright throughout the whole area.

Stations of the Cross on Winterberg

Highlight • Religious Site

It is a way of the cross with different stations. The suffering of Jesus Christ is depicted in sculpture. Every year processions take place from Erfweiler, which end at the Winterkirchel on the Winterberg. At each station there is a short stop and a prayer is said.
