History meets excitement at the striking "Dreiherrnstein": a **free podcast** tells the moving story of the border disputes between Cologne's archbishop, the Count of Nassau-Siegen and the Prince of Wittgenstein. The audio track not only offers acoustic enjoyment, but also brings the region and its turbulent past closer in a tangible way.

Directions
About 100 m along the road towards Heinsberg, the circular trail marked with a white circle on a black background leads sharply to the right past fish ponds into the beautiful Krenkel valley. After 2 km, it is worth taking the steep detour to the right to the aqueduct, a stream crossing over an old railroad line. You return to the main path, which turns sharp left after a few hundred meters and leads up to the Rothaar ridge as a steep ascent that requires a good level of fitness. At the top, turn left onto the Rothaarsteig. Continue to the Dreiherrenstein with a rest area and hut, then through beech forest to the Elberndorfer Bach stream and from there to the Oberndorfer Höhe hiking parking lot. Here, the "Rothaarhütte" offers a cozy place to stop for refreshments (open at weekends and on public holidays; please call tel.0151 15259746!) Further highlights are the view from the "Goldener Zapfen" From the "Grüner Platz", turn right downhill back towards Heinsberg and the "Stauweiher Heinsberg" hiking parking lot.
