Trail Between Rabenstein and Otterbachstein

Beautiful path through the forest near Bad Sooden-Allendorf. Especially in sunshine, the light on this hidden and overgrown trail is simply beautiful.

It is not only the view to the Meißner, but also over the upper Berkatal and the Frankershausen Karst that makes this place so attractive.

January 18, 2025,🇩🇪Premiumweg 7🥾Söder Wald⛰️🌳❄️🌤️

In 2025, I would like to hike the premium hiking trails of the Geo-Nature Park Frau-Holle-Land that I still need to do.
Today I chose the P7 Söder Wald.
I started at the Berggasthof Westerburg (where parking is not permitted, however).
At first, the trail went uphill on a slightly ascending forest path, later a narrow path followed at a …

From the Meißnerblick vantage point you can see the beautiful panorama of the Hoher Meißner. The enchanted forest near the historic ramparts of the Roman camp and the burial mounds are also worth a look. The break ponds are also beautiful and the many benches invite you to rest.

From Bad Sooden - Allendorf to the Söder Forest...
Really forest, so there aren't too many open spots along the entire route to be able to see the surrounding area.
It's nice up on the terrace of the Westerburg, from there Bad Sooden lies at your feet.
The view of the Hoher Meißner was also quite nice.
At the end …

Started at the Westerburg hiking car park (thanks again for the tip, Sven ... but the car park is cheaper from the direction of Kassel, so we decided to go for it.)
A wonderful premium trail with winding paths and very beautiful viewpoints.
Very pleasant to run in the forest, especially when the temperatures are quite warm.
