Hiking

From the Franzosenkopf you have a wonderful panoramic view of the lovely Werra valley. You can see the river course of the Werra very well. On their banks, the places are lined up like a string of pearls, here you can grasp near “leek soils”. 👁

Stop at the cross and read:

I hope that when you look back, you can see where you have been, when you look ahead, where you are going, and when you look inside, when you have gone too far.

Hiking

For centuries, the Hessian-Thuringian state border has run across the summit region of the Kielforst, with a section of border stones dating back to the 16th century. During the Cold War, it was part of the former inner-German border; however, its death strip ran about 500 m east of the summit region; only a narrow border control path was built along the current border.
