Kieslei

KIESELAY The Karbach mountain with a thousand spellings. No, not quite a thousand, but quite a few, as we discovered during our research. Whether Kieslay, Kisley, Kiesley, Kisley, Kiselay, Kissley, Kisslay, Kisselay, Kisseley, Kißley, Keseley... Eventually, we settled on the spelling of how the name is pronounced here in town: KIESELAY. The Kieselay is a mountain, mostly made of Rhenish slate, in the middle of the valley of the Karbacher Bach, where there are some nice fish ponds (privately owned). Even a mill existed in this valley in former times. Likewise, the Karbacher Bach valley served as a shelter for the inhabitants of the lower village during the Second World War. Not far from here there was the small settlement called Angsthausen. Then, as now, it is especially fun for children to climb the mountain on this path. There was also always an echo, whether it is still up there is? A narrow winding path, lined with moss, wild blueberries and gnarled oaks, awaits you. Once at the top, you can catch your breath and sit on a bench to enjoy the view of the forest and valley. Just a few meters down the other side, a table with benches invites you to take a break or have a picnic. From there the Rheinhöhentour St. Quintin also continues sideways past the mountain back into the valley. We wish you much pleasure in climbing our Kieselay!
