Reuschenbach: Hotels, Hiking Trails and Basalt History

Hiking trails and the basalt history of the wider destination of Hausen (Wied) also offer ideas for planning your trip. The holiday apartments at Sonnenhang and “Im Wiesenrain” can be easily distinguished by their listed features.

Compare holiday apartments in Reuschenbach

The two holiday apartments at Sonnenhang are located in the Hausen-Reuschenbach district, above the Wied River. The ground-floor apartment is 90 m² and has two bedrooms; it accommodates four people. The attic apartment is designed for two people and can be expanded with a sofa bed. There are numerous hiking trails nearby if you would like to include hikes in your stay.

The “Im Wiesenrain” holiday apartment is in the quiet Reuschenbach district above Hausen an der Wied. It is around 90 m² and has a separate entrance and a terrace with a view. Motorcycles and bicycles can be safely stored in the garage. This means the apartments differ not only in their sleeping arrangements: “Im Wiesenrain” also specifically lists a terrace, private entrance and garage storage.

For choosing according to group size, the details for the ground-floor apartment at Sonnenhang are particularly specific: two bedrooms and space for four people. The attic apartment is designed for two people, with a sofa bed mentioned as an option for additional sleeping space. If you are travelling by motorcycle or bicycle, secure garage storage at “Im Wiesenrain” may be a relevant factor in your choice.

Hiking and basalt in the wider destination of Hausen (Wied)

Malberg is located in the wider destination of Hausen (Wied). In winter, it is a tobogganing destination; from spring to autumn, it offers hikers panoramic views of the Wied Valley and the heights of the Westerwald. After the basalt summit was quarried at the beginning of this century, a small lake formed in the crater. Depending on the season, different activities take centre stage when visiting Malberg: tobogganing in winter, or hiking and taking in the views during the other seasons mentioned.

The Kleiner Wäller MalbergSeeBlick trail leads to the Malberg-Hütte, where regional dishes are served on a sun terrace. The route also includes a viewing platform at Lake Malberg with a reclining swing and a view of the steep basalt walls. Halfway along, there is a shorter loop that returns to the car park via a forest track. These details help distinguish the route options: the shorter loop offers an earlier return, while the viewpoint provides a separate stop by the lake.

Another destination in the wider Hausen (Wied) area is the Malbergsee basalt educational trail, near the Hähnen district. The short circular trail runs alongside a former basalt quarry for columnar basalt; information boards explain basalt extraction. Views of Lake Malberg, a staffed hiking hut and benches for resting add to the trail. The Kleiner Wäller MalbergSeeBlick hike also leads to the Malberg-Hütte. The route and the educational trail therefore offer different highlights: views and a place to eat along the former, and a circular walk with information about basalt extraction along the latter.

Bus route 146 between Bad Hönningen and Roßbach is listed for the Kleiner Wäller MalbergSeeBlick. From the “Reuschenbach Weißfeld” stop, continue on foot; check the timetable before travelling. For the H2 Hausen hike, the listed parking options are the car park behind the Wiedtalbad at Hönninger Straße 1, 53547 Hausen/Wied, and, optionally, the car park at Malberg (Malberg-Hütte).

Beyond the hiking trails, the wider destination of Hausen (Wied) offers other places to visit. The Wiedtalbad Hausen has an indoor leisure pool with a slide, current channel and waterfall. The monastery church of St. Josefshaus is considered a notable sight in the municipality of Hausen (Wied). These destinations complement the hiking and basalt themes, but are not features of the holiday apartments in Reuschenbach.

A historical connection to Malberg is its former ski area: in 2022, the former attendant’s hut below the Malberghütte was converted into a small museum about the area’s former ski operations as part of a LEADER community project. The year refers to the conversion; it does not specify current opening hours or access.
