Wendehausen Agent Lock

Highlight • Historical Site

The agent lock of Wendehausen (nomen est omen!) Dates back to the early 1980s and is said to have served to inject and disperse Stasi agents. It was camouflaged as a water passage, although there was really nothing to drain. Well.

View of the Werratal from Muhlenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's not just the great view over the Werra valley and the Heldrastein that make this resting place enthroned on the mountain so appealing. It is also the reward for the steep ascent of the P12, which ends here and is rewarded with this beautiful view and rest stop.

Green Belt

Highlight • Historical Site

Germany was divided for almost 40 years. The inner-German border was closely guarded with high walls, barbed wire and watchtowers. This allowed nature to live: the border strip became a habitat for more than 1,200 rare and endangered plant and animal species. The BUND has created one of the largest and most important nature conservation projects here since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Separate borders - nature connects!

Kolonnenweg (Former Border Patrol Road)

Highlight • Historical Site

The patrol path runs here over a longer section in hilly terrain.
Here you have the option of taking the patrol path to the P12 Mainzer Heads premium hiking trail or a beautiful circular hike (approx. 5 km) from the Drei-Kreise-Eck hiking car park (road in the direction of Wendehausen) with the agent sluice directly on the patrol path (signposted from the car park) and Include Blue Lagoon.

Footbridge Over the Walsbach

Highlight • Bridge

From the descent path from the Kolonnenweg to the Walsbachquelle, there is this small footbridge over the Walsbach, a little below the Blue Lagoon.
It allows you to pass the brook with dry feet.

Blue Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

It's a nice specialty. I hope that the shape of the pond is preserved. Meanwhile, he draws many visitors into the forest
