View of the Nahe River loop at Kammerwoog

Highlight • Viewpoint

Slightly higher observation and resting area with two benches.
Due to lack of vegetation, it is sometimes unpleasantly hot, but this can also be useful for sunbathing.

With the sun of the golden autumn 🍁🍂 hiked another tour in edel steinland today, in the NSG 🌾 "Kammerwoog and Krechelsfels" in Idar-Oberstein. Around the Kama. The official tour length is 6km. So I gave today's tour a different name. The 4km loop is also great.

Very nice, little dream loop with a lot of variety. Route and impressive flora. It mainly goes along narrow paths along the Nahe. Past rock faces, some of which are overgrown with moss and ferns. The highlight are the remains of the Hoppstätter Agateschleife.
