The Butterfly Trail lives up to its name. Between May and around September, you can see an incredible number of butterflies on this trail.

What a tree population. Monumental and mystical at the same time. Cheers to nature! I was thrilled.

It's amazing how trees can grow if you let them.

Here there is a nice rest area with a bench and table, protected from the wind on the limestone wall near a bridge over the Diemel.

A tip: the butterfly trail goes along here with beautiful orchids in May.

The Sababurg Primeval Forest in the Reinhardswald Nature Park is one of the most beautiful destinations in northern Hesse! Three different circular trails, two of which can be easily combined, lead through the primeval forest. Strictly speaking, the primeval forest is not a primeval forest, but rather a former grazing forest. The approximately 300-year-old grazing oaks and beeches acquired their current gnarled shape through intensive grazing. Partly over footbridges, you walk through this primeval forest and encounter one special tree after another. Definitely worth a visit! Parking is available right next to the primeval forest. There is also a well-serviced bus stop.

Named after Hermann-Josef Rapp, former deputy forest manager of the forest office in Reinhardshagen
