Maps and trails
Bannberscheid is idyllically located at the foot of the Westerwald and offers a breathtaking landscape with picturesque forests, rolling hills and clear rivers. The region is known for its numerous hiking and cycling trails as well as its impressive views of the surrounding forest.

The town itself also has a lot to offer. Among the most important sights are the 18th-century St. Anna Church and the 16th-century Bannberscheid Castle, which now serves as a hotel.

Culture enthusiasts should not miss the annual cultural festival, where local artists demonstrate their skills, or visit one of the many concerts or theatre performances in the area.

For gourmets, the regional specialities such as game dishes or potato dumplings are a must! Also be sure to try the famous "Westerwälder Schnittkäse" - a delicacy from the region!

Outdoor lovers can be active here all year round: In summer the nearby lake invites you to swim; while in autumn mushroom picking is the order of the day and in winter you can go skiing or ice skating on the surrounding hills.

But what if it rains? No problem! Visit the leisure pool in Montabaur or take a tour of the nearby city of Koblenz. There are many museums and historic buildings to explore here.

Where is Bannberscheid the most beautiful? That depends on your interests! If you like hiking, we recommend a walk along the Westerwaldsteig for breathtaking views. For families with children, the adventure playground "Bärenhöhle" offers lots of fun and action!

Overall, Bannberscheid is definitely worth a visit - an idyllic destination full of charm, history and nature. We hope this guide will help you make the most of your time here!

    Nach dem ersten Abstecher wird es erstmal etwas enttäuschend und langweilig. Von der Grube Anna sieht man leider nicht viel. Den zweiten Abstecher kann man sich sparen auch da sieht man nichts. Danach wird es wieder interessant. Es gibt viele Infotafeln und Rastmöglichkeiten. Bei den Teichen Bamberscheid fehlt eine Wegbeschilderung. Weniger anzeigen

    Lohnenswerte Tour mit guter Streckenführung. Von Ort zu Ort findet man eine gute Ausschilderung vor. Man fährt durch Wald und Wiese sowie nette kleine Dörfer und kann zwischendurch auch weite Ausblicke genießen, sehr abwechslungsreich.
