Sommerresidenz Rest Area with Swing

Highlight • Rest Area

To the west of Damscheid, at the end of the town, there is a rest area at the waterworks with two covered picnic benches and a swing-relax lounger that makes you want to scratch your head.

The "Damscheider Burg" is in the immediate vicinity.

Damscheid has a castle? Not yet but soon.

Based on an idea by forester Timo Hans, a castle made of willows was planted as part of the realization of the summer residence rest area right next door. With four towers.

This must now grow over the next few years and be tailored accordingly. Inside there is also a large seating area, the so-called round table.

Hohenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful single trail leads over the 505m high Hohenstein. In addition to an imposing, towering quartzite rock, 3 resting benches (partly weathered) along the way offer a resting place.

Kuckucksnack Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The quartzite rocks protruding from the forest floor do not offer any views, but they show a bizarre beauty with almost geometric shapes. Be careful, access is via loose ground with numerous potential for tripping.

Update 2/2023: A new path was created along the numerous rocks, which was clear and bordered with dead wood. The posts are already there, the signage is still missing.

Update 1/2024: The path is now part of the Cuckoo Snack dream loop, which opened in mid-2023, with a steel CNC cuckoo on the largest of the rocks now giving this rock a name.
