Start and finish of Premium Trail P4 (Hitzelrode, Hessian Switzerland)

Highlight • Trail

A very nice hiking trail, I can only recommend it. The P4 is said to be one of the most beautiful in Germany, lots of interesting places and views. I had planned for a long time, now finally made it 😊👍🏻

Old Forester's House of Hitzelrode

Highlight • Historical Site

A half-timbered house, former forester's house, which blends in nicely with nature and provides a place of tranquility. At the same time, a nice photo motif on the premium hiking trail P 4.

Stasi-Schleuse

Highlight • Historical Site

Through this 40-meter-long concrete tube once Stasi employees were clandestinely rooted through the inner-German border - sometimes for espionage to West Germany, sometimes for rapport to East Germany. If you are brave, today you can even crawl through it yourself.

East German Border Column on the Gobert

Highlight • Monument

A weathered border post remembers when Germany was divided by an inner German border. Today, the border between Hesse and Thuringia runs here, which you can luckily cross without hindrance. There is also a beautiful view.
