Oaks

Touristically relevant sights are Ehrenstein Castle from the 16th century and St. George's Church with its impressive tower from the 12th century. Cultural highlights include the annual arts and crafts market in August as well as the traditional Easter bonfire.

Culinary specialities are mainly hearty dishes such as Rhenish Sauerbraten or potato soup with sausage dumplings, which can be enjoyed in cosy restaurants.

The most important outdoor activities can be carried out at any time of year: In spring and summer, hiking on the numerous hiking trails is a good option, as is cycling along the rivers Sieg and Wied. In autumn, a drive through the colourful landscape of the Westerwald or mushroom picking in the forest area Rengsdorfer Schweiz is recommended. In winter, cross-country ski trails entice you to go skiing or ice skating on frozen lakes.

Even when it rains, there are plenty of options: A visit to the mining museum in Hamm/Sieg reveals the history of coal mining in the region, or a wellness day in a nearby thermal spa provides relaxation.

Eichen is worth a trip at any time of year. It is especially beautiful in spring, when nature awakens and everything is bathed in delicate green. But also autumn with its colourful splendour has its very own charm.
