Stargate Gate Greifensteiner Forest

Highlight • Structure

It looks like an old bunker elevator shaft in the middle of the forest. Or is it an interplanetary gate to foreign galaxies and distant worlds?

Ulmtalsperre

Highlight • Lake

The dam was built to flood protection of the Lahn. On the bank then a campsite has been created.
In 2006, the dam was last renovated.

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.
