The idea of creating a Resurrection Trail around the parish of Höchheim arose at Easter 2010. For many years, Protestant Christians from the towns of Irmelshausen, Höchheim, and Rothausen have gathered there on Easter morning to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus in a sunrise service. This tradition inspired Pastor Beate Hofmann-Landgraf and the church council to create a circular hiking trail around the three parishes, focusing on the resurrection of Christ. Funding for the project was secured through the then Regional Bishop Christian Schmidt and his "Gerne evangelisch" project, so the trail was implemented relatively quickly in cooperation with the House of Church Services in Hanover and inaugurated on Easter Monday 2012.

Bathing lake with campsite and sandy beach. There is also a restaurant with shaded areas and a direct view of the lake. The color of the water got me thinking. It was extremely green, I don't know anything about the water quality. I don't know if I would have swum there😁

Located directly on the lake, you can enjoy something to eat or drink there. Right next to the kiosk seating is an electric bike charging station, very convenient. The view overlooks the lake, a beautiful setting. The opening hours can be seen in one of the photos.
