Visible from afar, Monte Kali – the spoil heap of the Neuhof potash mine – rises as an imposing landmark in the landscape. It now contains more than 125 million tons of spoil. From every direction, the mountain makes for a fantastic photo opportunity. https://www.kpluss.com/de-de/ueber-ks/standorte/europa/neuhof-ellers/monte-kali/index.html

The cherry tree is a well-known and prominent landmark in the Gieseler Forest. From here begins a challenging root trail, which is only recommended to ride in dry weather conditions. Otherwise, the trail becomes difficult to navigate due to mud.

The Aueweiher pond is located in the Fulda-Aue recreation area, just minutes from the city center. Surrounded by meadows, walking paths, and ancient trees, it offers ideal conditions for relaxing, strolling, or picnicking.
