In 2018, the Hessian state government decided that state forest areas taken out of use with an area of more than 100 hectares will be designated as nature reserves. This included the Landecker Berg, which is now largely left to natural development. The cessation of management of the state forest areas is intended to ensure an undisturbed development of the forest ecosystem and thus preserve the special species diversity there. The existing hiking trails X4/E6, X16, and L53 were allowed to be retained in the now marked route. The compromise was to merge existing paths where possible and to use as few marking signs as necessary. Please understand this and adhere to the rules in the nature reserve.
