Geiserämter Cross

Highlight • Natural Monument

The 529 m high Rockenstuhl is the landmark of the Geisaer Land and is located about 5 km south of Geisa between the Ulster and Geisa valleys. At the foot of the mountain is the five-meter-high "Kreuz der Geiserämter" (Cross of the Geisa Offices), which was solemnly consecrated during the medieval festival in 2006. The Geisaer Amt with its razed farms is depicted on a basalt surface.

Geiserämter Kreuz Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 5m high wooden cross is located here. Inaugurated in 2006.
At the time of my hike there was no cross in sight. Maybe for repairs or something similar. ✝️

Coming from Walkes taking the ascent, arriving at the top, you are at the location of the former inner-German border.

Habel Village and Habelberg

Highlight • Settlement

Habel is a district of Tann with about 300 inhabitants. Habel was first mentioned in a document in 1059 in a document from King Heinrich IV, in which he granted the abbot of Fulda hunting rights over the Bramforst around the Habelstein. At the beginning of the 14th century there was a chapel and a nunnery in Habel. Just like a castle that has been handed down from around 1350, these were destroyed by the knight of Henneberg along with the entire place around 1400. It took almost a century to begin rebuilding. The Thirty Years War followed with destruction and famine. During their retreat after the Battle of Leipzig, French soldiers largely destroyed the site. After the ecclesiastical principalities were secularized under Napoleon in 1802/03 and then several times after changing their nationality, Habel and parts of the Hessian Rhön belonged to Bavaria from 1816 onwards. In 1866 after the German civil war it became a border town of Kurhessen and was therefore under Prussian rule. It became part of the Gersfeld district until it was incorporated into the Fulda district in 1932. Forty citizens fell from Habel in the two world wars.
Source: Wikipedia
The highest point of the Habelberg is at an altitude of 705 m, but the road between Habel and Neuswarts reaches a maximum of 615 m. The Habelberg is located in the Hessian Rhön Nature Park northeast of Fulda.
Close to the town of Tann, on the west side of the Habelberg, there is a 300 m long ring wall, which dates from the Celtic times and has produced an important sword find.
The driveways described here are very little traffic, as hardly a car gets lost due to the width (approx. Three to four meters) and the condition of the road. The driveways are also a bit hidden and therefore difficult to find. Although it is only a "farm road", the road is in very good condition with the exception of a few sections.
