キルヒハイムの天然記念物・トップ20

Very well-maintained and varied with rest areas

Great opportunity to relax - there are plenty of benches, the pond is extremely well maintained and invites you to linger. Highly Recommended!

The spa park, which was laid out in 1906, was completely renovated in 2006/2007 and completed in May 2008.

There has always been a natural waterfall where the Buchenbach squeezes its way through the rocks in a shady, narrow gorge. In the early 1920s, in a small basalt quarry, stones for road construction began to be mined directly in front of it. When the company was shut down, the quarry gradually fell into disrepair and was misused as a wild garbage dump. With the start of land restructuring in Christerode in 1971, the plan was drawn up to expand this former quarry into a small pond. A dilapidated irrigation ditch was renewed to supply water. This is how today's waterfall was created, which falls over an approximately 11 m high cliff into the pond. The waterfall hut was built by the citizens of Christeröd themselves. The entire facility was put into operation in 1974 and has been maintained and cared for by the local fishing club ever since. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christerode

There is a 12 meter high lookout tower on the mountain. Built in 1978 as a crumple tower, it was renamed the August Franke Tower in 1984. To the west, a little below the summit, there is a 46-meter-high steel-frame transmission tower for the Deutsche Bundespost. It is used for radio transmission and is also used by a local group of the amateur radio club. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kn%C3%BCllk%C3%B6pfchen

Beautiful tour, the waterfall and the pond area very nicely laid out. Here you can rest.

The spa gardens were laid out in 1906. With approx. 7 hectares, the park is the largest contiguous green area in Bad Hersfeld and connects the town hall, the Kurhaus and the Kurbad thermal baths. The spa industry in Hersfeld only began in the 20th century. In 1904 the buried Lullus spring was opened up again. In 1949 the Vitalis fountain was added by drilling. In the same year, the city was also named the Bad Hersfeld spa.

A very beautiful (partly ruinous) castle complex that invites you to explore and discover. There is even a small museum in the court tower.
