Kandrich

Kandrich is the highest summit in Bingen Forest, rising above thick woodland that covers the entire area. The peak overlooks a mix of dense forest and several wind turbines scattered across the elevated terrain.

The area was placed under protection in the 1970s as part of a regional nature conservation program. Wind turbines arrived much later as the site was developed for renewable energy production.

The mountain serves as a central point for renewable energy production with multiple wind turbines generating power for the surrounding communities.

Visitors can reach the summit via marked hiking trails from nearby villages, each trail varying in difficulty and duration. The observation tower near the top serves as a landmark and offers views across the forested landscape.

The site shows how industrial installations and forest conservation exist side by side without obvious conflict. As you walk up, you notice the woods continue to grow normally around the turbines.
