This is where the access road leads from Körbecke to the shell limestone Eco Path in the Diemeltal. Beautiful beech forest with rustic paths.

Everything was under water thousands of years ago, the shell limestone rocks still testify to the former inland sea. Today the fertile soil provides the basis for new life.

Shortly before Lamerden you can have a kilometer-wide view of the Diemeltal from this small pulpit. I don't think you can ever get enough of this hilly landscape.

Schwiemelkopf Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

I was there at the end of March, a sea of blossoms from wood anemones, lungwort, daphne and larkspur!
There was also wild garlic and arum, be careful, you can mix them up and arum is poisonous 🙏🧙

On the way on the shell limestone sea eco path, part of the Diemeltal Butterfly Trail. We started at the hiking car park on the Schwiemelkopf, which can be reached from Körbecke and is also signposted. Many ascents mean many far-reaching views that can be enjoyed from enough benches. The Diemel is crossed twice and thus the dog had the …

After the wonderful Sunday came a also sunny 🌞 Rose Monday and since for well-known reasons there was no Rose Monday parade 🎭 this afternoon, we set off on the Muschelkalk Eco Path in the Diemeltal.

This eco path runs in the area of the town of Liebenau, which is located on the North Rhine-Westphalia border. This was created in …

30 minutes drive from Kassel and we were in Lamerden. We started here, in the beautiful little town it went uphill with brilliant views.
We soon arrived at the Schwiemelkopf. It's a beautiful mountain trail on small paths with sunshine and so quiet. Ups and downs we went forward, always along the Diemel - this time to the left of …

Very nice tour 🤩. There is always something beautiful to see and something new to discover. The altitude that has to be conquered is okay and there are enough rest stops along the entire route. It should perhaps be noted that mountain bikers also like to use parts of this route and can surprise you ;).

Unfortunately, there are some trees in a very inconvenient position on the path that you have to go around or climb over. It's quite adventurous in places, but overall it's an …

Today again on Schuster's horse.
A hike over the mountains and the Ral, but still very eventful. Archaeological finds on the side of the road, which is why the Eco-Path often runs along with this hiking trail.
A beautiful view over the Diemeltal from the Schwiemelkopf.
