On and on the basalt plateau of the Fuchskaute, the harsh climate and a traditional way of using pasture have created meadows that are otherwise typical of the Alps. Nearly 300 species of flowering plants and trees, 300 butterfly and almost 50 different species of birds were counted here.

Hiking

The Rothaarsteig is reasonably well signposted, but the road to the border triangle (Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia) is very poorly signposted.

Hiking

Beautiful idyllic piece of nature. It is better to be out here during the week than at the weekend. There are just too many people around.
