October 4, 2025, Hundsrück Bench

Take a break right on the 478-meter-high summit of Hundsrück. Unfortunately, there's no view from here.

The viewpoint has become so overgrown that the view is unfortunately no longer very pleasant. You can still see the town of Reichensachsen and the new motorway bridge, but that's about it. At least there's a nice rest area there, and the wonderful, rustic beech forests are especially worth a visit.

By the way, there is a wonderful view not only of Weißenborn, but you can also easily follow the Green Belt all the way to the rear ridge, where you can also see from right to left: Treffurt with Normannstein Castle, then further to the left the Hülfensberg and in front of it Wanfried in the Werra Valley, further to the left the mountain with Greifenstein Castle and on the far left the Hessian Switzerland near Bad Sooden-Allendorf.

Unfortunately, it's already broken and fallen over after all these years. What a shame... a restoration would be great, because the hiking trail is really enjoyable, and the artworks make it pass quickly.

A very nice cabin, with a bench and a great view of Weißenborn.

Very cool! We had to think for a moment about what it could be. Looking at the sign and the "T"... we figured it was a tea bag. It's a shame it's no longer there in its original form. A redesign of the individual artworks would be great. It's really fun to walk this path!
