Wild homeland in miniature Wild beauty and local history aptly characterize this quality route. Along old hollow ways, through natural forest, spacious meadows, and over a ridge trail, the circular route passes by the Hunnesrück castle ruins, which were built in the 13th century at around 340 meters height by the Counts of Dassel, a historic water mill, and the Lower Saxony stallion breeding stud Hunnesrück, a tradition-steeped, worth-seeing picturesque estate. Along the way, there are many places offering dreamlike views of the wide landscape. Some sections on the ridge of the Amtsberge require surefootedness.

Take a deep breath – feel peace and solitude The varied path leads through extensive, partly ancient oak forests, over gentle hills and through open meadows, past some special features of the region, such as the Lauenberg bathing lake, an ecologically designed swimming pond. Centuries-old gnarled oaks, witnesses of times long past, create a fairy-tale atmosphere and fascinate in every season. Information boards provide interesting facts about the history of the forest. Another relic of history is the Löwenburg castle ruin, a fortification first mentioned in documents around 1388. The photogenic ruin stands on a hill, from where there is a wide panoramic view over the Solling foreland.

In the area around Dassel, there are several large fields of wild garlic. One of the most beautiful hikes leads from the village of Hunnesrück over the Eselsteich to the Hunnesrück ruins. On the limestone of the castle hill, wild garlic grows excellently, so that you can walk through wide fields of wild garlic under fresh beech greenery in April.

    Sehr schöne Tour mit einigen Highlights, allein der Eichenwald ist etwas ganz besonderes. Die Rast am besten bei der Burg machen, dort gibt es schöne Sitzgelegenheiten, die Stempelstelle und oben auch eine feine Aussicht. Am Anfang und nach der Burg gehts 2x ordentlich nach Oben, also alles in allem eine kurze, aber keine leichte Tour. Lohnt sich aber auf jeden Fall!

    Schöne Herbstwanderung bei bestem Wetter, lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Sehr abwechslungsreich, kleine Highlights wie das Gestüt und die ehemalige Burgruine, viele schmale Pfade, ausreichend Sitzgelegenheiten. Gerade bei der Burgruine ist Trittsicherheit erforderlich, gerade jetzt im Herbst mit dem Laub auf den Stufen, aber mit Wanderstöcken kein Problem. Wir waren auch traurig, das man beim Gestüt derzeit nicht mehr einkehren kann, hab dort bei früheren anderen Touren gerne eine Rast eingelegt.

    Sehr schöne Tour mit tollen Aussichten und klasse Natur. Hier und da muss man den Weg auch mal suchen, das hat für mich den Spaß allerdings nur erhöht. Definitiv eine Empfehlung von meiner Seite!

    Parkplatz ist wieder geöffnet. Eine schöne Wandertour mit der richtigen Mischung zwischen Wald und Wiese (Felder), schön auch im Sommer zu wandern. Es gab eine außergewöhnliche Menge an unterschiedlichen Schmetterlingsarten zu bewundern. Viele Bänke laden zum Rasten ein, ebenso liegt ein Wassertretbecken auf dem Weg. Einzig die Beschilderung im offenen Teil über die Felder war manchmal nur schwer zu finden, war aber mit der ausgedruckten Karte dann kein Problem.

    Sehr schöner und abwechslungsreicher Weg. Es geht durch Buchenwald und entlang des Waldrandes mit Blick auf das Leinetal, Elfass und Solling. Im Sommer angenehm schattig. Wer Einsamkeit und Idylle mag, ist hier genau richtig. Beim Landschaftsfenster geht der Weg hinter der Ruhebank links hoch. Da fehlt die Beschilderung. Der Kammweg durch den Wall der Burgruine würde ich nach Regen und Winter nicht gehen, da die Stufen faktisch nicht mehr vorhanden sind.

    eine schöne Runde, bei mäßigem Wetter (Nebel und teilweise leichter Nieselregen). Aber es gibt ja kein schlechtes Wetter 😉
