June 13, 2026, Geiserämter Kreuz

The 529 m high Rockenstuhl is the landmark of the Geisaer Land and is located about 5 km south of Geisa between the Ulster and Geisa valleys. At the foot of the mountain is the five-meter-high "Kreuz der Geiserämter" (Cross of the Geisa Offices), which was solemnly consecrated during the medieval festival in 2006. The Geisaer Amt with its razed farms is depicted on a basalt surface.

The historic Serpent Path near the town of Geisa is far more than just a short stretch of forest – it is a piece of living regional history, an idyll for nature and culture enthusiasts, and a charming highlight for locals and visitors alike. The Serpent Path is an integral part of the premium hiking trail Point-Alpha-Weg, recognized as one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Germany.

First, it goes through the forest. You don't expect anything bad and suddenly the view opens up over idyllic villages, mountains, and distant neighboring mountain ranges like the Knüll, for example. Surprise successful.
