Stargate Gate Greifensteiner Forest

A really great forest path meanders along a lot of lovingly designed pilgrim towers and also past the "Stargate" gate. It is definitely worth an eye-catcher ;-)

This is my entry into the Westerwaldsteig, which I want to hike little by little over the next few months. Today I chose the section on the Greifenstein loop from the train station in Sinn to Holzhausen. Next I want to hike from Holzhausen to Arborn. Recommended for hiking.
