Johannesstollen

Highlight • Historical Site

This is where the Johannes tunnel in the Hohe Meißner was located, approached around 1595. As a memento there is still an old cart, a hunt.

Moss-Covered Basalt Field (Moossteinmeer)

Highlight • Natural Monument

In basalt seas/fields or block heaps in summer, the escaping cold air causes the formation of condensation or a low evaporation rate. This allows various types of mosses to grow and spread there.

Opposite the vantage point and the information board, on the steep wall of the Kalbesee you can discover a peregrine falcon eyrie.

September 15, 2022,Frau-Holle-Teich, Stinksteinwand und Sendemasten: Auf dem Hohen Meißner

The Hohe Meißner is a mountain massif with a maximum height of about 750 m in north-east Hesse between Fulda and Werra. What makes you want to go hiking here? On the one hand, we really liked the area on the recent trip to Göttingen. Göttingen is not that far away from here.
