Hiking

In the Hutewald you can discover some bizarre tree shapes that look as if they had escaped from a fantasy novel. The mysterious forest came about through centuries of grazing. In the part that is still grazed with two tarpans in the summer, you can discover a beautiful heath landscape.

Ancient Beech Tree in Hutewald Rengshausen

Goethe Oak

Highlight • Natural Monument

In the middle of the water table
the oak rose
Majestic prince's seal
Such green forest blossoms;

Behold the sky in the flood:
To enjoy life like this
Loneliness is the greatest good.

December 18, 2022,Knüll Fabelweg „Hutewaldweg“ (F4)

I've already walked the round when it was only called Hutewaldrunde, without Fabelweg 😊. The round is nice, but not as varied as the other fable trails that we have already hiked. Unfortunately the snow there wasn't as spectacular as I had hoped. Compared to this morning at -12 degrees I was sweating uphill at -4 degrees. But Archie liked …

Today we had a winter hike planned.
Unfortunately, some paths were destroyed by forestry work, which means you walk ankle-deep in mud even at -2.5 degrees.
But the reward was great landscapes :-)

My path should lead me through the Hutewald 🌳 Rengshausen today. Past ancient beeches and oaks, along the Waltersberg (466 m)⛰️and up to the Schilling (468 m)⛰️and the Mühlberg (469 m)⛰️.
On the way, hikers can expect wonderful views 👀 of the Alheimer (549 m) near Rotenburg an der Fulda, the Great Inselberg in Thuringia (916 m), the Knüllköpfchen (634 …

Today I was on this premium trail in the Knüllwald.
That was a very varied tour with a great jungle feeling in many places. Great round for hot days, as you are mostly in the shade.

Very nice hike on mostly narrow forest and meadow paths. Good variety between uphill and downhill.
