Description
Circular route, start/finish: railroad station (Bahnhofstraße), 54570 Densborn, length: 12.3 km, duration: 3 hours 30 minutes
The hike leads along quiet paths through an idyllic forest landscape, accompanied by stone witnesses from the 17th to the 20th century.
Along the route there are several originally preserved plague crosses, which were erected in times of great hardship as a sign of faith, hope and remembrance.
QR codes on site provide historical background information and explanations of the cross inscriptions.
In an interplay of nature, panoramic views and history, this trail combines hiking, culture and recreation.
