Spruce clusters in the Staufenberger Bruch

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

On this section of the trail you can see the so-called spruce lumps, which were created by Carl Friedrich Mergell in the 19th century in order to continue to use the Reinhardswald for the herding of grazing cattle and at the same time to generate income for forestry.

Source of the Holzape

Highlight • River

This is where the Holzape rises in the upper Holzapetal. There is a bench to take a rest. From here you can walk a beautiful path through the forest.

Staufenberg Summit Stone (472 m)

Highlight • Summit

Here is the highest point of the Staufenberg at 472m. I did not find a direct path here, I walked cross-country. But there was also a lot of snow. From up here you have no special view. There is only one stone to admire.

The Oak Avenue of Sababurg

Highlight • Natural

It is impressive when you consider that the Landgraves of Kassel used this avenue many centuries ago to drive to their Sababurg hunting lodge.

Schweins-Eiche

Highlight • Natural Monument

The hog oak was a 700 - 800 year old tree that was a destination for school classes for many decades. In 2013 it was overturned by a storm, but it had also been dead for 30 years.
