ニーステ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Great lake landscape with beaches that was created as part of the Federal Garden Show.

The Buga was built in the late 1970s for the Federal Garden Show in 1981

A very nice, but entertaining bike path. The R1 is optimally signposted and leads through small villages and larger towns.

On the occasion of the BUGA 1981, the BUGA lake was created in the Fulda floodplains. Today it is part of the Fuldaauen nature reserve. It is easy to get around by bike and offers interesting sights and rest areas. In summer there is always a lot of activity here.

For the Niester giants, the giant legend of the two castles Sichelnstein and Sensenstein is spun on. Burg Sensenstein, which prevented Otto the Quaden from invading Hesse, was a thorn in his side. In his anger he made a pact with the devil. In exchange for his soul, the devil threw a huge stone at the Scythe Stone. But he was protected by God and the stone fell into the Niestetal. The devil flew away, but Otto did not give up and made a pact with the giants. At night they should sneak to the scythe stone and smash it. However, the forest around the castle was protected by a ghost and his dwarves and elves. They confronted the giants, but when they attacked anyway, the spirit froze them and grew into mighty trees. The real story, however, is a bit less spectacular. The Niester Riesen is a test area from 1887. At that time, the Kaufunger Forest forestry office planted various exotic species on behalf of Prussia in order to investigate the growth and wood quality of exotic tree species. The Niester giants are actually a scenic highlight, as they are in the middle of the normal forest and the site with the redwoods, Douglas firs and more clearly stands out. The small (yet somehow large) arboretum is enhanced by information boards.

A trip to the huge trees is worthwhile. The pictures do not really capture the actual size. They are gigantic 🌳

the fulda cycle path from kassel to hann.münden is great to ride ....
