Three Big Stones in the Elbbach Valley

Highlight • Natural Monument

Say from the wild and romantic Elbbachtal about the "three thick stones":
The legend tells of the Hildburg on the Elkenrother side of the Elbe stream. The knight's wife was expelled here and had to live by the stream. As she washed, she put her hand on one of the stones, which gave way and showed her handprint. After this sign, the knight who was believed to be lost came back and brought his wife back to the castle. To this day, notches can be seen in one of the stones, which are interpreted as the imprints.

endless sun. First a cool Hachenburger at the forest festival and then a good 10 km in the sun through nature. Beautiful route, only in the Elbbachtal the forestry had made walking difficult for several 100m. Fast home after the tour and a cool cider.
