    The "Hoher Knüll" Fable Trail is the ideal introduction to the Knüll Nature Park if you'd like to get an overview of the tranquil low mountain range. The starting point is at the highest point of the tour at 634 meters, below the August Franke Tower on the Knüllköpfchen. From there, the trail leads you through tranquil forests, across open land, and through idyllic stream valleys.

    Characterized by peace and space, you hike along the "Schwärzwiesen bei Hülsa" nature reserve, where you'll discover wet meadows full of rare animal and plant species. In the picturesque stream valley, the babbling Hergertsbach stream accompanies you on your walk. The entire route is approximately nine kilometers long.

    The Knüll is a fabulously diverse area – both in terms of landscape and biodiversity. Here, you'll find a home for many animal and plant species. Particularly noteworthy are the red kite and black stork, the wildcat and the meadow pipit, as well as numerous orchid species. The orchid meadows in particular are cared for with great volunteer dedication, for example by the Neuenstein Mountain Rescue Service. Especially on the heights of the Knüll, you can still discover remnants of species-rich meadows, and occasionally you can also find calcareous grasslands.
