The Forsthaus Hohenroth is always a popular excursion destination. Some hiking and circular hiking trails start from here. It offers a beautiful, unfortunately (or fortunately) also very popular restaurant/café. The game reserve offers beautiful animal viewing, especially during the rutting season, and the attached woodland information center rounds off the offering. In some places, regional activities and programs also take place around the forester's lodge. The Kyrill path and the Eder spring area are not far away and the forester's lodge has its charm at any time of the year, but especially in winter with snow.

My tip to always drive when others are still sleeping. Then you have the paths to yourself.

The Obernau dam with its circular routes is always worth a visit. Clear recommendation to leave the paved path directly on the water and try a slightly larger arc over the forest paths.
