The dream loop "dä hohle Wää" combines many historical and scenic highlights over a distance of nearly 5.8 kilometers. You will receive information on 8 thematic panels about the topics "Celts and Romans", "Charcoal Burning and Forest Hut Villages" as well as "Flowing Waters".
We start the walk at the Hermeskeil Forest Stadium. We walk along a path through the Hermeskeil Forest until we are presented with a wide view over the current fields of the former Roman military camp, which covered 26 hectares, located east of the present-day town of Hermeskeil. The camp, which was established in the final phase of the Gallic War (between 53 and 50 BC), is one of the oldest known Roman military camps in Germany and one of three from the time of Gaius Julius Caesar.In Damflos, the themes of "Charcoal Burning" and "the history of a forest hut village" follow: Damflos owes its origin to the charcoal burners and woodcutters who settled in forest hut villages in the woods of Züsch in 1720. A high number of turners indicates a well-developed wood industry. Along our way along the Prims, we can view the Storywalk, which features changing themes several times a year. Crossing the Prims, we reach the charcoal burner, which illustrates the craft of charcoal burning.
