Here time has stood still. Mining, tanks, and sheep farming have preserved a piece of old cultural landscape but also left distinctive traces. Forgotten habitats with rare animal and plant species create uniqueness, biodiversity, and nationwide importance.

Circular route around Oberwetz, which unfortunately is only conditionally suitable in winter and is not sufficiently marked in at least 1-2 places. Since it runs for about 1 KM on the heavily frequented country road – 0.5 meters from cars speeding by at 100 KM/H – it is not recommended in this form despite some nice sections and views.

A famous summer guest and a majestic cathedral: A visit to Wetzlar—which Emperor Barbarossa elevated to the status of a free imperial city in 1180—offers a glimpse of history at every turn. In 1772, Goethe spent a fateful summer in the city while writing the original version of *Werther*. The homes of Charlotte Buff (Lottehaus) and Karl Wilhelm Jerusalem (Jerusalemhaus) can still be visited today. Wetzlar’s landmark is the imposing cathedral with its façade featuring elements from various architectural periods. On the hike, you’ll pass the keep on the Kalsmunt, a 12th-century Staufer castle. After that, the scenery becomes tranquil until the imposing backdrop of Braunfels Castle comes into view.
