RWW No. 16 (Niederzeuzheim)

Description

From the starting point, the path leads from Bahnhofstraße and Untergasse through the old town center, where timber-framed houses from the 16th to 18th centuries can still be admired. Past the large meadow, the path continues to a bridge over the Salzbach to an old waterworks. Once there, follow the second path to the right along the forest edge, where you have a beautiful view of nature that you can enjoy in peace and quiet from a resting bench. The route leads into a beautifully maintained hunting area. The dense deciduous forest with old beech trees contrasts attractively with the gentle hilly landscape with pasture areas. On natural paths, you have another beautiful view of the surrounding villages in the Westerwald. At the edge of the village of Thalheim, you cross the Salzbach bridge built around 1900 and continue the path along the wooded shore. At the Neumühle, the path branches left through a splendid nature reserve with open forest clearings. The last section leads over a very narrow forest path that changes from deciduous to spruce forest along its course. Back on a paved path, along Bornfelsgasse and past the beautiful village fountain in Niederzeuzheim, lies the small village museum on the Backhausberg, which can be visited by appointment.

In particular, in autumn, be aware that fallen leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. You should expect such trail impairments when undertaking a hike.
