Tips
A beautiful valley. There are some great hiking trails here.
Among other things, the Ruhlandpfad.
According to a legend, the prisoner Johannes Ruhland offered to supply the Treysa upper town with water if freedom was granted. So he built a moat from Sachsenhausen around Frankenhain to the Hephata mountain. From there the water reached the upper town via pipes. For the inauguration in 1683, the Johannesbrunnen was built on the market square in Treysa.
The Frankenhainers also used the fresh water, which flowed past the place.
The Ruhlandpfad follows the moat, which is still largely preserved today.

A great cycling and hiking trail. The view of the gorge, in which a brook flows, is very varied.
