3D model of the Roman fort Alteburg-Arnsburg

Highlight • Monument

A Roman fort was once located here. The association has set up a very clear 3D model here. If you think of this picture on the existing site, you can get a good idea of the size of the settlement.

Only a few meters further up on the mountain, at the megalithic grave "Heiliger Stein", the view is even more impressive! There you also have a great view of the Vogelsberg with the Hoherodskopf

On the hiking trail you walk through several thousand years of history of various orientations. Our two hiking guides Gabriele and Clemens were perfectly prepared and were rewarded with 27 hikers and the best hiking weather. A top hike through one of the most beautiful natural spots in Hesse! 🥾☀️☀️☀️☀️🍀👍

Fast scheint es, als wolle die Klostermauer als Zeitstrahl dienen, denn ihr folgt der kulturhistorische Wanderweg zunächst durch den Klosterwald Arnsburg auf eine Reise in verschiedenste Epochen der Vergangenheit. Wo die Klostermauer endet bzw. nach Osten weiterführt, gibt die Wetter weiter die Richtung vor. Rechts des Weges ragt immer höher eine Art Wall im Wald auf, verdunkelt – selbst heute …

We were out with the usual group of four 🐶 and chose the longest variant (for the tireless) out of the 4 possible rounds. We learned and saw a lot along the way, from …

"Unfortunately" the weather turned out to be better than expected and the open field was simply too difficult for the four-legged friend. He had already completely exhausted himself in the first 4 km while hunting mice 🙈🫣

So we took a bit of a shortcut at the end...

Here is the rest of the hike. Wow, that was boring. Anyone who likes to walk along endless dirt roads, read information boards and has the imagination to imagine the things described is in good hands here. It's not mine. By the way, we saw some cyclists on our way. Not a bad idea at all.
