Hiking

The absolute highlight of this tour is the well-known Christeröder waterfall. But this circular route also has a lot to offer in other respects: quiet beech forest, idyllic stream meadow valleys, species-rich meadows and three streams, which gave this tour its name. In the "Buchenbachtal" nature reserve, which accompanies many…

Beautiful meadows

Highlight • Natural

Petersgrund, Fritschwiese, Helgenwiese, Steinwiesen, these are the field names in this dreamy corner.
In the direction of Asterode there is still the Schoppenwiese. As soon as I walked in here, I got thirsty.

Great view beyond Asterode. The small town in the valley was first mentioned in 1240. Why isn't there a wave lounger here? ;-)

Today we were in the Knüllwald forest. It was a very beautiful walk. At the end of the tour, there was a beautiful waterfall and a pond!😊🦆🦆🦢🦢🛝💧🌊

So now the time has finally come: the fabulous tours in Knüll have been published and signposted. For the Sunday afternoon I had chosen the stream tour in Christerode. The Christeröder waterfall is one of the most beautiful corners in the Knüll, but so far I hadn't managed to combine it with a nice hiking route. Those responsible have now …

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do anything for a week due to a flu-like infection, so today I just wanted to go for a leisurely walk without a lot of elevation gain - I was still slightly weak on my legs. The Bächeweg fable trail was very convenient for me at 8 kilometers long.

Very beautiful hike always along the stream (Bächeweg) and at the end there is the beautiful waterfall near Christerode.

I've always wanted to go to the "Christeröder Wasserfall". Very nice here 😍. The waterfall is 11 m high. However, I find the Buchenbach, which falls down the mountain in the immediate vicinity, more impressive 🤙🏻.
Except for a few forest workers at the hiking car park 🅿️ Grünhecke, there wasn't a soul far and wide next to me. That's …

We arrived at the starting point for the premium hiking trail (green hedge) called the Fabelweg Bächeweg at half past ten.
The five of us (Barbara, Elke, Wolfgang, Uwe and ki) started in the nature reserve and were able to enjoy the initial stretch because it was pure premium. Steep little paths led us up after we had admired the …

A beautiful fabulous trail, with no steep inclines where you often find yourself next to a stream. It's nice to walk along field and forest paths and then there are beautiful panoramas. And the best thing is the beautiful little waterfall. Was fun!

May 17, 2023,Knüll: Fabelweg "Bächeweg" (F14) 🍃🌊🌼

We had long awaited this fabulous trail, as the waterfall was supposed to gush and have a clear effect on the green. First of all: the wait was worth it! 🤩🌊
We deliberately started away from the waterfall first, in order to have it as the final highlight. Instead, we went down through the Gerlitzbachtal on gentle forest paths or …

We walked the path today. Really a very beautiful and pleasantly well-marked hiking trail. I have rarely experienced that.
The small lake with the waterfall is very idyllic and you could relax there wonderfully and switch off for a bit. Unfortunately, the waterfall didn't really have much water. You probably
