At the gates of Kassel (district of Bad Wilhelmshöhe) rises the "Hohe Gras", which, at 614.8 meters, is the highest mountain in the hawk forests of the Bergland. Above is a lookout tower, in which there is a mountain restaurant. The real reward is the fast downhill to Kassel or Zierenberg - depending on which direction you take.

If you want your legs to burn, the ascent to the tall grass is just the thing, no matter from which side.
