Always worth a detour, the panoramic view of the Limbacher Höhe with a fantastic view from the Palatinate to the Hunsrück makes you forget the ascent

There is no direct view from the 506 m above sea level Ballenberg summit (also called Ballenhubel), but the vegetation opens up along the path from time to time and allows a view over the Hunsrück hills.
