The term bear cave has been handed down since ancient times. There are many legends about the bear cave. There is talk of a secret exit from the castle, a smuggler's hideout or a bear shelter. Whether a bear was really “at home” in the cave cannot be proven. Source: Text information board

Bärenfels — Rocky Outcrop

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Bärenfels is a station on the so-called “Bear Trail”. Don't worry, there are no bears in the region, the name comes from the historical use of the Rosenwald as a hunting ground for the sovereigns, who were the Dukes of Palatinate-Zweibrücken for centuries.

Wolfersweiler Quarry in the Nauwald

Highlight • Structure

𝑫𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒃𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒊𝒎 𝑵𝒂𝒖𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒅

𝐺𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑢𝑛𝑔: Wolfersweiler
𝐹𝑙𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑚𝑒: Nauwald
𝐺𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑎𝑟𝑡: Lava 2 - rock

The broken stones from this quarry were used to build houses in Wolfersweiler until the 1950s. Stones from this quarry are used in many houses in the village. It was not particularly suitable for masonry because of the ability of the rock to decay. Therefore it was mostly used to fill ceilings. In the later years up to the turn of the millennium, the stones were still used as a substructure for building dirt roads. The quarry has been idle ever since. Source: Text information board

The Big Oak

Highlight • Natural Monument

The "thick oak" has a circumference of more than four meters. It was once dedicated to Thor, the god of thunder, and is a great photo opportunity for your hike. You will also find a nice rest area here.

St. Markus Catholic Church and Old Mill

Highlight • Religious Site

Small parish church idyllically situated on the Ahöhe. The old mill can also be seen from the water trail. You can reach it via an adventurous close crossing made of larger stones.

Stepping Stones Across the Nahe River

Highlight • Bridge

The Nahe had a lot of water and the ferryman was on vacation 😄😄
However, the quarries can easily be avoided at high tide.
