June 21, 2026, Heathlands at Gehn Former Glider Airfield Nature Monument

The heathlands on the Gehnberg were actually once the site of a glider airfield, which the name of a path still suggests. Today, nature has reclaimed the habitat with sparse trees, but above all heather and blueberry bushes. A beautiful landscape. Caution: In June, you will be almost eaten alive by horseflies here!

A wonderful viewpoint above a beautiful heathland with two loungers. Attention: The TERRA.track running here does not lead over the viewpoint (this is not clearly indicated by the marking)!

The Heimatstübchen Ueffeln is a space for events and a small village museum, located on the ground floor and upper floor of the Röwekamp-Marks farm.

This path formerly led to the quarries on the southern slope of the Gehnwald forest. A grindstone can be seen here – after which this path, the road, was named. The path was also a farm track to the meadows. A sign explains this.

Quarries like this one reveal a sandy relic from the Jurassic period, traces of a former coastline. A plaque next to it provides information about the history.

The heathland in the Gehn forest area is protected as a natural monument.
