    The Hellental is a feast for the eyes. Similar valleys are rare in the Solling.
    Everything is wonderfully quiet here.

      Beautiful meadow valley with springs and pastures. There are many benches and information boards throughout the valley.

          A comfortable hiking trail leads through the natural Hellental. At the sight of the tree-lined meadows you can unwind.

            A nice quiet long stretched valley. Slowly it goes down to Hellenthal. There an inn with beer garden invites to a rest.

              A natural and beautiful valley. Many benches invite you to linger. Various breeds of cattle graze peacefully in the pastures. 👍

                The Hellental, which extends from Mecklenbruch in the southwest to the town of Hellental in the northeast, has extensively used grassland in some areas, including remnants of montane mountain meadows, and is one of two representative areas for submontane bristlegrass lawns in the Weser-Leinebergland. The natural meadow stream “Helle” is accompanied by small wet meadows and some banks of trees. The stream shrinkages are a geological peculiarity. In some places, the water of the Helle disappears into a ponor (suckhole) only to reappear elsewhere. The reason is the strong tectonic stress on the limestone that has sunk into this trench of the Solling, which is therefore very fissured.

                  The area has been under nature protection since October 12, 1990. On June 9, 2019, it was merged with the other nature reserves in the newly designated "Moore and forests in Hochsolling, Hellental" nature reserve.

                  Two circular hiking trails run through the valley from Hellental. At Hellental, a section of the grassland trail, which was designed as a nature adventure trail and opened in June 2011, runs through the area. Information on the flora and fauna of the grassland and its formation and use is provided at a total of twelve stations along the approximately 2.5-kilometer nature adventure trail.

                            The Hellental is a very long meadow valley. You can hike along the Helle or the forest edges on both sides. This gives you many route options and makes it interesting even when you hike it repeatedly. The Grasslandweg is recommended. If you want to go a little further, you can hike to the raised moor.

                              The Hellental along the Helle from Silberborn to Hellental is simply gorgeous, across the meadows, along and in the forest...very quiet and close to nature.
