Tip
Stöffel Fossil Park explores the tertiary period of Earth's history and doubles up as an industrial heritage site. The crater lake dates back 25 million years, and the interactive learning areas give you the chance to climb fixed rope routes, get involved in a number of hands-on activities, visit exhibitions and go on guided tours. Close to Stockum-Püschen, Enspel and Nistertal.

Water, woods and wondrous views
The Westerwaldsteig is a top-quality walking route that opened in May 2008. As it makes its way through the Westerwald Forest from the Rhine to the River Dill, the trail keeps its promise of water, woods and wondrous views.
The 235km trail meanders through gorges and geoparks, stops at enchanting little medieval towns and passes endless sights and attractions: the idyllic lakes of the Kroppacher Schweiz region, magnificent abbeys and secluded countryside chapels, mighty castles overlooking the Wied river, old-fashioned mills and stunning vantage points in the upper reaches of the forest. There are six nature parks in Rhineland-Palatinate and Hessen where excellent walks enjoy top priority. The Westerwaldsteig offers a workout for both mind and body with its short stages, wide variety of diversions en route and fascinating daily destinations.
