Erbeskopf Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

I've been here for the marathon. The national park is a really nice area. Highly recommended, I think the bike park is also worth a visit.

Windklang Sculpture, Erbeskopf

Highlight • Monument

At 816 meters, the Erbeskopf is the highest mountain in the Hunsrück. Although the "Windklang" viewing platform is a real eye-catcher in itself, you also have a fantastic view of the high forest from it. As soon as it gets a bit windier, it should also make an impressive sound game. Below the platform there is also a trail park with various lines and three levels of difficulty - perfect if you are out on a mountain bike. In winter there is a small ski area here. In summer, on the other hand, the lift brings bikers back up the mountain.

Wildenburg Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

ATTENTION: Currently (January 2026), the tower is closed due to damage to the wooden structure. A reopening date is not yet foreseeable.

nlphh.de/blog/wildenburg-turm-vorerst-gesperrt-wegen-schaeden

The Wildenburg Castle ruins are situated at approximately 630 meters above sea level on the Wildenburger Kopf hill overlooking the Idarbach valley. It was the highest castle in the Hunsrück region.

Only a few remnants of the upper castle, perched atop a rocky outcrop, remain. A 22-meter-high observation tower was built on the summit of the rock, starting in 1980 and completed in 1981. From its 15-meter-high viewing platform, which is arranged in a ring around the tower, it offers excellent panoramic views. Orientation panels on the parapet explain the points of interest.

The spiral staircase and the covered viewing platform are constructed of concrete and are very stable, therefore there is little risk of vertigo.

... (Unfortunately, Komoot has combined the observation tower, the restaurant, and the wildlife enclosure into one highlight!)

Historic Old Town of Herrstein

Highlight • Historical Site

Very nice, unobstructed medieval ambience.
The place gained fame by the most powerful woman of the Middle Ages, Countess Loretta von Sponheim, who forced the respect of their rights by the abduction of Archbishop Balduin von Trier, the brother of the then Emperor.
