バウナタールのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The Pfaff Oak was planted in 1931 in honor of the long-serving forester Karl-Heinz Pfaff (1857-1941). The Heiligenborn spring, now enclosed, rises near the oak. The water is said to be particularly palatable and to have healing properties. A small park was created here in 1883, but it no longer exists.

Here, a signpost for the Eco Trail points the way to the castle hill and the old quarry. On the summit plateau of the 440-meter-high castle hill, remnants of a rampart are preserved. Finds from the Neolithic Michelsberg culture (4200 to 3500 BC) and the pre-Roman Iron Age (750 to the birth of Christ) attest to the hill's temporary settlement. From 1904 to 1972, a basalt quarry was operated, providing employment for many men from Großenritte.

Further view towards the south

Great view over Besse

The basalt formation is smaller than expected, but still very beautiful and an ideal place for geocaching

The basalt formation is smaller than expected, but still very beautiful to look at. There is also a hotspot there for all geocaching enthusiasts

The view from the “Bocksgeil” resting place is definitely worth a detour, regardless of the weather

Very nice view from up there. There is also a stamp box for low mountain rangers
