At the entrance to the Oberroder node, the visitor is directly on the state border of Rhineland-Palatinate. Just a few steps and you are in Hessen. Hike the knot area is worthwhile in every season - whether on shoemaker's pony or on skis in winter. The knot is a 605 m high ridge and the last eastern outpost of the High Westerwald towards the Lahn valley. The districts of Westerwald (Ww.), Lahn-Dill (LD) and Limburg-Weilburg (LW) meet in the junction area. It has always been a borderland and also a water and climate divide. The area is framed by the places Oberrod (Ww.), Mengerskirchen (LW), Arborn, Odersberg, Münchhausen and Mademühlen (alleLD). The highest elevation in the Arborn district has been marked by a summit cross for some time. The junction region forms a closed forest and grassland area that invites you to go hiking, as it is not crossed by public transport routes. From the old sports field in Mengerskirchen you can hike for miles through largely untouched nature to Mademühlen. In recent years, however, numerous wind turbines have been built on the Hessian side. In the area of the former settlement of Hahrehausen, the Westerwald Verein Adolf Weiß from Mademühlen, the creator of the Westerwald reputation “Hui Wäller? - Allemol “erected a monument. Nearby you will also find a newly built "sundial" made of mighty stone blocks. When there is enough snow, the knot is a popular winter sports area. Then lifts are in operation and cross-country trails are groomed (Elzer Hut at Oberroder Junction (586 m), Limburger Hut and Wetzlarer Hut near Mengerskirchen and Arborn). In the Mademühlen district, model pilots have set up a place for their hobby on the edge of the forest.
