Near the Landeck castle ruins is the "Knight's Leap" viewpoint with a bench. According to legend, the exposed spot owes its name to a Hessian hunter who jumped from the cliff during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) while being pursued by a group of French soldiers. The viewpoint has been the subject of discussion for several years, as the panoramic view is increasingly being blocked by tall trees that cannot be trimmed due to nature conservation regulations. hna.de/lokales/rotenburg-bebra/schenklengsfeld-aussicht-landecker-zuwachsen-92283242.html
