When the weather is nice, the jetty can be used as a picnic area. But there is also covered seating on both sides of the lake.

The Hünenteichweg trail here follows a narrow path along the erosion gully through the leafy forest. It feels like walking through a primeval forest, but it's easy to find your way around as the path is well-marked.

October 19, 2025, 🍁🍂🍄🦊🌤 Qualitätsweg Hünenteich (Touringen ♟️40, 41, 42)

A short ♟️ tour through the autumnal beech forest 🍁🍂🍄 in the Hainich forest. Fresh forest air, rustling leaves underfoot, ☀️ in your heart, blue skies, forest bathing - total relaxation 💯😊 What more could you want 😃 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👫 First, we refreshed ourselves by the warm fireplace in the Fuchsfarm, and afterward, we had another ☕️ in the beer garden.

Start / finish: Fuchsfarm Today a small, fine circular hiking trail with the Harth community. Autumn is slowly but surely coming to the Hainich National Park. Stop at the end of the tour at the Fuchsfarm for coffee and cake. 👍😀🍀🙋‍♀️

With the son on a stamp tour during the holidays. The Hünenteich circular trail is very easy and quite entertaining for the kids due to some exciting play and adventure opportunities along the way. 👍

We started from the Fuchsfarm hiking car park. A nice, leisurely tour through the forest without any effort. Collected 3 Touringen stamps.

Start / finish: Mülverstedt hiking car park Fuchsfarm The Hünenteich hiking trail is suitable for the whole family. The unspoilt beech forest features countless old trees and deadwood structures. Melting water in spring, which benefits the Hünenteich and the surrounding ponds, which have filled up very well with water. Hedges and shrubs can spread to the open spaces. There were a lot of different bird voices today. It was a fun concert by the twitterers... 🍀 🥰. Wood anemones in yellow & white, lilac-colored corydalis, wild garlic and wild cherry blossoms were the splashes of color on today's tour. Clouds, sun and drizzle were on the sometimes muddy paths of our companions. Tip: a great place to stop is the "Brotzeit Fuchsfarm". 😊 🙋‍♀️ 🙋🏼‍♂️.

Today we were out again collecting stamps for our tour booklet (40, 41, 42). Our first leg took us from the cozy Fuchsfarm inn through the rustling leaves of the beech forest, past the environmental education center to the Hünen "teich" (Giant's Pond), unfortunately without water. At the Fuchsfarm we enjoyed a delicious snack 😋, then continued on to Hütscheroda.

A beautiful, leisurely path through the unique beech forest. All well described, you just have to follow the 🐸.
