The little place in the Westerwald belongs to the whole community Hachenburg. Dehlingen and Hirtscheid still belong to the municipality of Alpenrod.
background
It is believed that the Poststrasse runs above Alpenrode (it used to be called Albrechtsrode) on a path that was already used by the Celts. In any case, the muddy lowlands were avoided in the Middle Ages.

Tourist Attractions
Gräbersberg with observation tower
On the 513 m high mountain there is a cell phone tower with a viewing platform. From the platform at a height of 33 m you have a beautiful panoramic view. On a clear day you can see as far as the Eifel.
- History: As early as 1932, the first 24 m high wooden observation tower was built on the mountain. This tower was used as an aerial observation post during World War II. A storm in November 1945 destroyed the tower. In 1998, the mobile operator E-Plus erected the current 73 m high tower in just 6 weeks.
- Opening times of the viewing platform: Mon - Sun: 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.
- Refreshments directly at the tower:
