Wächterkopf Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The guardian head is aptly named. High above the gold fountain, it watches over the gold in the fountain. The guardian's face is clearly visible.

October 24, 2021,Wanderung: Rotheshütte-Ehemalige Steinmühle Ilefeld HWN 96

From Rotheshütte we went to the former stone mill as a circular route. Up the forest path and then came a short, beautiful hiking trail, which turned out to be a mud fight and the descent turned out to be very adventurous.
Back from the stone mill, it went steadily uphill and I was looking forward to the “Kochs Bank” …

You follow the forest path briefly uphill and then steadily downhill past the Helltalteich, the steep rock formations 👌 of the Steinmühlental and the Goldborn to the rest area with the stamp box. Nothing remains of the buildings of the former sawmill and …
