Friedewald Water Castle

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle of Friedewald was built in the 13th century at this strategic point, because medieval military and long-distance trade routes met here. After it was destroyed in the Seven Years' War, it lost its importance. It was only partially used. Today you can visit them and climb the thick tower.

You can find more information and the opening hours here: museum-friedewald.de/museum/oeffnungszeiten_und_preise/oeffnungszeiten_und_preise.html.

Church Ruins of Hammundeseiche

Highlight • Historical Site

In the middle of the Seulingswald you can still visit the foundations of a church that, like the small hamlet that belongs to it, was probably already abandoned in the 13th century. This place has been forgotten for a long time and only exists as a legend in people's memories. Only in 1969 was it rediscovered by an excavation. About 200 meters away from the ruins of the church, there is an ancient pedunculate oak where the village well used to be.

Hammundeseiche

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Hammundeseiche is a natural monument, which is located about three kilometers northeast of Friedewald in the district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg in Seulingswald in Hesse and about 650 meters south of the Friedewald road to Hönebach, at the branch of the bottleneck.
The oak stands in the center of the former hamlet of Hammundeseiche at 435 meters above sea level. The oak is the former center of Hammundeseiche, which has been abandoned since 1312. Directly next to the oak are the reconstructed village well and a small pond.
Only in 1969 were remnants of the forgotten place found, uncovered and constructed.

Knallhütte

Highlight • Restaurant

The Knallhütte. The name alone creates enthusiasm. The staff and the boss are very friendly and helpful. The food on offer includes burgers, schnitzel and cakes. At the moment (let's call it Corona), the boss recommends making a reservation. Otherwise, due to the high number of visitors, there could be no more space available.
A wonderful view can be enjoyed both outside and partly from inside.
Thumbs up.
