Reuschenbach: Holiday Apartments, Basalt and Malberg Lake

A small lake in a former basalt crater, panoramic views over the Wied Valley, and trails overlooking steep basalt faces shape the excursion destinations in the wider travel destination of Hausen (Wied). When looking for a holiday apartment in Reuschenbach, the specific differences in location, living space and occupancy are also useful.

Malberg: Lake, Views and Seasonal Activities

Malberg is a destination for sledding in winter. In spring, summer and autumn, it offers hikers panoramic views of the Wied Valley and the heights of the Westerwald. The activities described therefore vary by season: anyone planning a winter outing will find sledding at Malberg; in the other seasons mentioned, hiking and views take centre stage.

After the basalt summit of Malberg was quarried away at the beginning of this century, a small lake formed in its crater. Malberg Lake thus connects the landscape with the history of basalt quarrying: today's lake lies in a landscape shaped by the former summit.

Basalt Trail and Circular Walks

The Malberg Lake Basalt Nature Trail runs near the district of Hähnen at a former basalt quarry for columnar basalt. Information boards provide details about basalt quarrying. This short circular trail also offers a view of Malberg Lake; a staffed hiking hut and benches invite you to linger.

The Kleiner Wäller MalbergSeeBlick also offers different highlights along the route. Halfway along, a shorter loop follows a forest track back to the car park. A detour takes you to a viewing plateau at Malberg Lake, with a reclining swing and views of the steep basalt faces. The hike also leads to the Malberg Hut, where regional dishes are served on a sunny terrace. This lets you choose between a shorter loop, viewpoints and a place to stop for a meal.

The Wiedtalbad Hausen has an indoor leisure pool with a slide, a current channel and a waterfall. The monastery church of St. Josefshaus in the municipality of Hausen/Wied is another sight worth visiting. These attractions are part of the wider travel destination of Hausen (Wied), adding swimming and culture to the nature and hiking themes.

The history of winter sports is also part of Malberg: in 2022, the former caretaker's hut below the Malberg Hut was converted into a small museum about the former ski operations as part of a LEADER community project.
