The Mehrbachtal is full of stories. So the theme tour leads me through Mehren with its numerous half-timbered buildings. Later, the Mehrbach accompanies me on a very idyllic, shady path. I wonder if the white woman is still haunted here at the water's edge? And what about the Boller Mosch, who hits the trees with a cudgel and shouts "Mosch, Mosch"? The lost castle Mehren can also tell an exciting tale. On this round tour I walk mainly on wide forest paths, I overcome a few meters of altitude at the beginning of the walk, which I later walk down again towards Mehren. In the center of the village I come across the worth seeing pillar basilica from the 12th century, one of the oldest of its kind in the Westerwald. Finally I take a look into the old dungeon from 1547, called Bulles'Je, below the old school.

Half-timbered village Mehren

Great beech forests (especially in spring)

Nette, aber kurze Runde im Mehrbachtal mit vielen Infotafeln zur Sagenwelt im Westerwald. Anmerkung: Wer eine längere Anreise hat und dem die 4,5 km zu wenig sind, kann eine erweiterte Runde über den Westerwaldsteig und zurück durch das schöne Mehrbachtal mitnehmen. Gesamte Strecke dann 16 km. Details siehe https://out.ac/aaGsr. Der Startpunkt bleibt unverändert.
