    The old smugglers' paths lead through the forest. Goods were once smuggled past customs here between the County of Hessen-Cassel and the Kingdom of Hanover. The nearby town of Spiekershausen was referred to as a "smuggling nest" around 1800, prompting the County of Hesse to set up a customs house there. The historic border in a deep brook valley is still the state border between Hesse and Lower Saxony today. The smugglers' trail is used by the two marked hiking trails, the Fairytale Land Trail and the Student Trail.
