With its striking shape, the Hoher Dörnberg is the landmark of the Habichtswald Nature Park, where archaeological finds confirm settlement during the Ice Age. Its geology and cultural history, as well as its unique flora and fauna, have long attracted many people. Species-rich juniper heaths, the treeless plateau, and the striking Helfensteine rocks offer a diverse range of hiking opportunities.

Hiking

The Hohe Dörnberg was selected in 2020 by the Presidium for Geosciences and Geotechnologies and certified with the title "National Geotope"! This award has been presented since 2006. There are a total of 77 significant geotopes in Germany, ten of which are in Hesse. – The Hoher Dörnberg is one of them! He is thus in a row with the "Chalk Cliffs on Rügen" or the "Grube Messel".

In the vicinity of the Hohen Dörnberg there is a wonderful area to explore, to hike or to enjoy the view of the Warmetal. Just beautiful here, no matter what time of year.
