Wonderful hike in the Westerwald in Rhineland-Palatinate.
A marvellous hike through forest, over hills and meadows. It is perfect to forget everyday life to the sound of the Laubach waterfall. The Laubach can be followed before the turn-off to Almblick for a refreshment stop in the Laubachsmühle.
The starting point is at the car park at the tennis court. There are public bathrooms right next door at the Waldfestplatz car park.
Highlights:
- Alpine view of the Wiedtal valley
- Laubach waterfall
- Rengsdorf barbecue hut
