You may notice the trees and bushes that are sometimes quite gnarled. The use of pasture by goats during the last centuries and their browsing on the plants is one of the reasons for this. In addition, there is the barren soil and the dry rocks, which only allow sparse vegetation.

For hikers, however, it is a very attractive path, because the atmosphere is beautiful and the views of the Edersee are magnificent.

Hiking

Here on the steep, rocky slope to the Edersee, partly stunted, partly bushy beeches form a bizarre, gapped forest. As the name "Goat Mountain" suggests, it is characterized by medieval grazing. Goats have contributed to the fact that everything grows so gnarled. But on barren, dry rock, trees also reach their limits and only grow stuntedly
to gnarled figures that stimulate the imagination, make you dream of elves and gnomes.
