Tips

NaturFreunde Hessen e.V.

November 5, 2023

Below the ravine, known in Schaafheim as "Bobbelhoul", there is a shelter. Hollow paths arise when paths run along slopes on loess soil. The wheels of the carts and carriages, the hooves of the draft animals scrape on the ground, loosening it and the next rain washes the material away. A gorge with unvegetated, steep loess walls is created. This is an ideal breeding place for insects. They dig tunnels into the walls and build small, spherical breeding holes in which they lay their eggs. The beads were called “bobbles” in Schaafheim; you could pick them up if a piece of the steep wall broke off.
Today the ravine is tarred, the slopes are flatter and overgrown. The bobbles are legend. There were many such caves in Schaafheim that were filled in as part of the land consolidation.
This highlight is part of the barrier-free Kultura Trail "Cultural Landscape in Transition" run by NaturFreunde Hessen: komoot.de/tour/1368108866
