View from Muhlenberg (P12), Geo-Naturpark Frau-Holle-Land

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bonding with history - where else can you experience this together? Fresh air and signage, which in the quiet minute the thoughts about the separation of Germany at that time become clearer.

Boundary Stone No. 51 – Memorial Site of the 1963 Incident

Be sure to read the newspaper clipping there from the incident at landmark No. 51! German-German history from the Cold War.

Green Belt

Highlight • Historical Site

Germany was divided for almost 40 years. The inner-German border was closely guarded with high walls, barbed wire and watchtowers. This allowed nature to live: the border strip became a habitat for more than 1,200 rare and endangered plant and animal species. The BUND has created one of the largest and most important nature conservation projects here since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

View of the Werratal from Muhlenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's not just the great view over the Werra valley and the Heldrastein that make this resting place enthroned on the mountain so appealing. It is also the reward for the steep ascent of the P12, which ends here and is rewarded with this beautiful view and rest stop.

Wendehausen Agent Lock

Highlight • Historical Site

The agent lock of Wendehausen (nomen est omen!) Dates back to the early 1980s and is said to have served to inject and disperse Stasi agents. It was camouflaged as a water passage, although there was really nothing to drain. Well.

May 5, 2024,Premiumwege: P12 - Mainzer Köpfe

And because it was so beautiful yesterday, today we're going on the next premium trail in Hesse. We started from Wanfried again, but this time in the direction of the Mainzer Köpfe.
With information about the origin of the name (yes: Diocese of Mainz) and again along a small part of the Green Belt.
The trail led around the Mainzer …

October 17, 2021,P12 Mainzer Köpfe

Today the P 12 walked a nice path at least halfway up until then a lot of sights regarding the former border and great views of the landscape lying in the fog
Great views to Heldrastein and Graburg
After you have reached the top, you tend to go on forest highways, i.e. developed forest paths
But the main thing is …

April 5, 2025,Blütenteppiche an den Mainzer Köpfen (P12) 🤩💐

After hiking the Mainzer Köpfe in rather moderate weather, but being impressed by the many trails, we decided to do it again. 🤩
One that gave us great pleasure and more than confirmed our first impression. At 10km, it's rather short, but fundamentally connects with the P5. We'll tackle that combination as well. 🐾
So we soaked up some vitamin …

March 28, 2025,P12 - Die Mainzer Köpfe im Frau-Holle-Land

To round off our short vacation, we headed to Frau-Holle-Land near Wanfried. There, we chose the P12 - Mainzer Köpfe (Mainzer Köpfe). It was located directly on the Green Belt, offering a look back at our inner-German history. The first 3km were a steady, sometimes steep climb to the Stasi agent lock and a reconstructed section of the border fence. …

Once again underfoot one of the excellent premium trails near Eschwege - delicious 👍🏻.
Among other things, with an agent lock from GDR times, plenty of views, and various nice-looking flowers and trees along the way. 🥰

On the way in the Geo Nature Park Frau Holle Land 👣🐾

The Premium Trail 12 is not particularly long, but it is super beautiful 🙂

I was thrilled by the many beautiful viewpoints, even though the view was a bit hazy today.
The view from the "Werratalblick" is simply amazing and was perfect for a sunny lunch break.
