Marien Chapel with bell tower Nassau

Highlight • Religious Site

Pretty, small chapel including a bell tower on the outskirts. It's worth taking a look inside.

Deserted village of Willgenhausen

Highlight • Historical Site

There was a settlement here until the 17th century. Today it's just a great, promising place to rest.

Ruins of the Buckerig Smelting Hut

Highlight • Historical Site

The ruins of an old smelting works in the Seelbach valley. Silver and ores from nearby mines were once processed here. You suddenly feel like you've been transported back to an earlier time. A great adventure for children too!

A beautiful, natural tour through rugged valleys in the Westerwald. For my taste, a bit too much gravel and a bit less natural trail under your feet, but who would be so picky 😉

The first part of the path was really a disaster. Without my walking sticks I wouldn't have been able to see whether I was on the path or stepping into the void on the embankment. Everything was full of thorns. Then we went a bit through the forest and because of the storm and/or tree felling work there were no …

Another loop through the Westerwald on the WällerTour - Buchfinkenland-Gackenbach.

In perfect weather, we easily covered the 600 meters of elevation gain over 15 km. In some places, the ground had already heated up so much that we were sweating profusely on some climbs.

The Buchfinkenland Wäller tour follows consistently well-maintained paths, with magnificent scenery and consistently stunning views. It descends into the Seelbach valley, climbs the other side via a steep path, and then back along the rocky path to Gackenbach. I really enjoyed the route; based on some of the information about the tour, I had feared worse.
