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.

A lot of deforestation and windbreak. Severe damage to the paths due to heavy machinery.

Today we went on the premium path P 7 through the forest from Bad Sooden - Allendorf. The wooded route was ideal, weather-wise everything was there from sun, clouds, wind and small rain showers, real April weather 😅. The Söder Forest is very natural and has a high proportion of paths. The highlights for me are the Otterbachstein, the view …
