Pflanzgarten Forest Cabins

Highlight • Mountain Hut

There are a few huts here. They are used for forestry, among other things. You are in the so-called "plant garden". A completely new hut with an oven was recently built here.
The place is ideal for a break.

The square is called Nikolai Bank. I don't know where the name comes from. Today there are two comfortable forest sofas that invite you to relax. Great view. Quiet place.

Junkerborn Pond

Highlight • Lake

The pond system Junkerborn was created here in 1983. The pond system has already served as a sleeping place for one or the other cormorant. A bank invites you to linger.

Chestnut Avenue in Naturpark Knüll

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This old chestnut avenue and the old orchards are evidence of the diverse, centuries-old use of the landscape. As a child, I always climbed up into the lights here. Simply great.

October 29, 2022,Fabelweg "Lichte Blick"🍂🍄🚶🚶‍♀️🐕🐕⛅️🍂🍄
After following the sat nav, I ended up somewhere in the middle of nowhere on a forest path where it is forbidden to drive through. When asked in Waßmuthshausen, I managed to find the right entrance to the Lichte hiking car park. My hiking friend was more familiar with the area and had taken the path from Homberg via Wassmuthshäuser …

This morning 🕗 it took me to the light. The forest 🌳 in which I have always enjoyed being since my earliest childhood days 👶🏼. The fairytale trail "Lichte Blick"👀 is my favorite so far🏆, of the newly created premium hiking trails (Fabelwege - Knüll Nature Park).

Another fabulous fabulous trail today with glorious fall weather and fall colors.


Be careful when navigating with Google Maps. My Google Maps didn't know the actual access to the Lichte hiking car park and sent me straight through the forest, partly on the Fabelweg 🙈. Back I ignored Google Maps and got home 15 minutes faster. You …

Comfortable circular hiking trail with beautiful views of the Rinnetal and Homberg in a really beautiful mixed forest. The chestnut avenue was particularly beautiful at the moment with its colorful foliage and there were plenty of chestnuts. At the moment part of the path is closed due to forestry work. Since there was no work today, we braved our way …

Via sticks on sticks we came to the fairytale path 'Lichte Blick', which has been completed despite the lack of markings on the sign.
Among other things, this is a "detour" because the 'Rommelsberg' fable trail is closed until November 30th due to timber harvesting work. We weren't too sad about this landscape. 😇🍂
The first description of this tour …

I admit that even after reading the Fabelweg description, I still don't fully understand the name of the hiking trail.
"Lichte" is the name of the Homberg city forest, through which the Fable Trail leads. I couldn't find the name on the map though. And there are some beautiful views, e.g. of the city of Homberg with the Hohenburg or …

A balanced mix of forest, forest edge and field paths as well as grass paths. There is no shortage of lovely places to rest and relax.
Some of the paths, including the grass ones, are quite uneven and since it is difficult to see the unevenness of the ground in the tall grass, sturdy ankle-high hiking boots are highly recommended.
