リンデンヘンシェンと野外劇場は、現在では野外映画、演劇、コンサート、さらには自転車トライアル選手権の会場となっています。 野外劇場はかつての採石場です。石は、例えば郊外のバーンホフ通りにある「ランゲ・ブリュッケ」の建設に使用されました。その後、採石場は長い間放置されていました。 1948年、建築家のTollhopfは、追放者のための文化センターを設立したいと考え、野外劇場を建設しました。 リンデンヘンシェンはかつて樹木園（研究目的で植えられた様々な木々の植栽地）でした。当時のメルズンゲンの森林学校は、そこに在来種ではない木を植えました。リンデンヘンシェンを計画した森林官を記念する石碑が今日でも残っています。 出典: https://www.grimmheimat.de/media/attraktionen/lindenwaeldchen-mit-freilichtbuehne#/article/5843971b-7e6c-4292-9fc9-c1dff82720db

Currently very easy to navigate. Everything has been cleared 👌🏻

At the beginning of the 19th century, the Lindenberg was a "wild hill", a grassy hill with thorny bushes, with only a single tree standing on its top, where a memorial stone was later placed in 1911 for the city forester Philipp Stahl. The Alte Nürnberger Straße leads past the slope facing the city, with two lanes. Source: https://www.lauftreff-melsungen.de/2014-05-01_Bericht_historische_Wanderung_1.Mai_2014.pdf

"Melsungen received a beautiful open-air stage for the 1950 local festival. "It will be preserved for posterity"..., writes a chronicler, "as a convincing expression of the desire for culture at a time when people were still burdened with more earthly worries." This can be read in the book "Melsungen - The History of a Town". This meeting place has been almost forgotten and is only occasionally used for small-scale events. The idea of restoring the former open-air stage and making it available to the people of Melsungen arose at a seminar held by the youth welfare service and youth parliament in November 2000. The then speaker of the youth parliament presented the idea to the Agenda office as a possible Agenda project. The idea was fleshed out in the social affairs working group. At the beginning of July 2002, 15 young people restored the open-air stage with the help of members of the Local Agenda 21, employees of the building yard and a specialist company. Many hours of work were spent removing moss from the stones with a wire brush, removing rubbish and covering the seating areas with grit. In 2003, the remaining work, such as erecting a handrail, providing electricity and setting up lamps on the footpath to the open-air stage, was carried out by the building authority.

The natural stage was built in 1950 in the former quarry, where the sandstone for the Melsung railway viaduct was quarried in the middle of the 19th century. However, after a short period of flowering, it was almost forgotten. But at the turn of the millennium it was brought out of its slumber and since 2003, open-air film screenings have taken place regularly in the summer months. The ASC-Melsungen bicycle trial area is located around the open-air stage. A memorial stone with the inscription “To the city forester PHILIPP STAHL for his services to the Lindenberg on his birthday July 2nd, 1911” still points to the initiator of the Lindenberg complex.

The Fahrbach Trail leads steeply uphill from the Fahrbachtal Hut on the premium hiking trail to the Schwedenhütte. It's very steep, with many roots and loose stones along the ascent, requiring a certain level of cycling skill. The descent is more for those who can and enjoy it. I personally cycled from the Waldschlösschen Fahrbachtal up to the Fahrbachtal Hut on the premium hiking trail. I didn't see any signs prohibiting cyclists in that direction. However, there is a sign prohibiting cycling at the turnoff leading downhill from the Fahrbachtal Hut. Most of the photos here for this highlight are from this section of the trail.

Nice trail towards Fahrbachtal. Fun to drive.

Demanding single trail with some quite sloping, slippery spots... rather only for experienced mountain bikers or insert pushing passages at the critical points
