Route 7, which is approximately 1 kilometers long, includes the Angstberg. On a Kellerwaldsteig section you initially have a beautiful view of the Dreisbachtal. When entering the forest, you have the opportunity to follow a spur path to the “Paradies” nature reserve and encounter old, gnarled tree figures from a former Hute forest. Route 1 leads past the remains of a former vinegar factory down the wooded valley slope to Emdenau. Before the circular route closes, it goes along the Wesebach, whose valley is one of the most romantic places in the nature park.
