The 9 km hiking route initially heads towards Sandborn and meets the "Heimatpfad" with its large geological clock. After crossing K 33, we ascend towards Roth. There we reach the Millstone Caves/Ice Caves. Millstones were mined in underground galleries. The caves were also used as ice caves for a long time. Those who want to enter a cave should bring a good flashlight. After a short ascent, we find ourselves on the volcanic cone "Rother Kopf." From here, there are beautiful views into the Oosbach Valley, as well as northward. From there, we hike back along the Eifelsteig past the "Rother Hecke" to the starting point and namesake of the tour - the "Stausee". A final stop is planned.
