The Root Trail "Between the Woods" leads along narrow, sometimes damp paths through a quiet coniferous forest. Roots, small footbridges, and mossy forest edges give this section a particularly natural character.

This weathered stone structure acts like a silent sentinel over the snow-covered Hunsrück Forest. Presumably once part of an ancient defensive or viewing position, it now stands solitary and open on the edge of the Burr Plateau – surrounded by ice, rocks, and gnarled branches. An atmospheric place steeped in history and offering a panoramic view. 💡 Tip 🧭 Approach carefully – on a clear day, the view through the walls opens up deep into the Nahe Valley.

As a "waymarker" and "time object," the installation "Suntime between the Forests" consists of a base stone for the night, a second large stone for the day, and numerous smaller, layered stones for the hours. By drilling holes in the large stone, the cardinal directions can be identified in relation to the position of the sun, and the shadow conveys the time of day. In the field of view, from northeast to southwest, are the Wildenburg, Hohenfels, Kirschweiler Fortress, Ringskopf, and Pfannenfelskopf. Three seating stones symbolize "Past, Present, Future" and are intended to invite visitors to linger. A time object made of 12 tons of 400-million-year-old quartzite rock was installed at the square. The "petrified" marine sediments are now mined in the Allenbach quarry of Steinwerk Allenbach GmbH & Co. KG (Wirschweiler district) and processed into stone and gravel. The sculpture is a "signpost" found in various forms throughout the world, often in distinctive or magical locations and frequently made of layered stones.
