The Hoherodskopf with its transmission mast can be seen well from afar. It's a real landmark.

The spa park in Bad Salzhausen, laid out in 1826 by Heinrich Karl Bindernagel, is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in Germany with its 52 hectares. Once the center of salt production, the town gained great fame through the research of the chemist Justus Liebig, who between 1828 and 1831 researched the healing effects of the brine and helped Bad Salzhausen gain recognition as a spa town. The historic graduation tower, the bell house, and the old water wheel, alongside contemporary art, shape the park's image to this day – an ideal place to let the salty air blow around your nose and switch off for a while.

The Markwald Berstadt, with its 300 hectares, is one of the larger forests in the Wetterau. Especially on hot days, it is excellent for hiking and cycling under its canopy. As part of the "Fuldische Mark", the forest was used jointly by several villages as common land for centuries. In addition, a burial mound field from the Bronze Age is located in the Zippen and Erleneck districts.

Here the path leads you through a magnificent maple tree avenue. Between branches and foliage, fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding idyll open up to you. The section is located not far from the former Hauben- und Weißmühle, which belonged to the former exclave Rabertshausen II.
