그레벤슈타인‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

With its striking shape, the Hoher Dörnberg is the landmark of the Habichtswald Nature Park, where archaeological finds confirm settlement during the Ice Age. Its geology and cultural history, as well as its unique flora and fauna, have long attracted many people. Species-rich juniper heaths, the treeless plateau, and the striking Helfensteine rocks offer a diverse range of hiking opportunities.

The Hohe Dörnberg was selected in 2020 by the Presidium for Geosciences and Geotechnologies and certified with the title "National Geotope"! This award has been presented since 2006. There are a total of 77 significant geotopes in Germany, ten of which are in Hesse. – The Hoher Dörnberg is one of them! He is thus in a row with the "Chalk Cliffs on Rügen" or the "Grube Messel".

Here you enter a place steeped in history: finds from prehistoric times prove a settlement as early as the Neolithic Age. The oldest pottery sherds found here date from the 6th and 5th centuries BC. The ramparts on the largest rock of the Helfenstein, with an artificial ditch about 100 meters long from the 12th/13th century, indicate a former high medieval castle.

The Jussow Temple was built from 1817 to 1818 according to plans by Heinrich Christoph Jussow. The temple stands at the fountain pond at the end of the Peneus Cascades. He finds his role model in Stowe, England. The Jussow Temple is still often referred to as the Temple of Apollo. The confusion stems from the fact that the Jussow Temple was built up the slope shortly after the demolition of the wooden Apollo Temple.

The Jussow Temple was built in 1818 and is located at the fountain pond.

Easy to hike mountain peak with a great view. The summit tour is to be embedded in a beautiful circular hike. Flyers for the possible path constellations are available in the nature park center at the Helfensteinen. The stamping point for the summiteers of North Hesse is also located near the summit.

The Jussow Temple was built in 1817/1818 right next to the fountain pond. The temple with an open colonnade and a closed interior also finds its model in Stowe, England. Today a World Heritage Site and a wonderful photo opportunity.

Very nice photo motif.
