Peterslahr Tunnel

Wied River Trail (Wiedweg)

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful path along the Wied. However, the path is only conditionally recommended for families with small children or prams, as the path is narrow and partly steep with steps.

A really great place to take a break. Next to the picnic table with benches, there is a panoramic bench right by the side of the path. All with an incredibly great view of the valley. Simply indescribably beautiful.

The Manrother See is a former basalt opencast mine. Relics of the volcanic past accompany us throughout the hike. A display board at the Bertenauer Weitblick provides information about the panorama that can be seen.
