Panorama path around Rauschenberg
This route lives up to its name: Running along ridges at idyllic forest edges, offering you diverse views – from the old town of Rauschenberg to the Kellerwald.
Legendary panoramas are complemented by enchanted places inviting you to linger – foremost the imaginatively designed fairy tale forest. Living cultural history accompanies the path through the Wohra meadow with the Schmaleicher mill and the Fiddemühle, while at the holy oak on the approximately 320 m high Sosenberg, you reach a historically significant place. Once again, the fantastic all-around view from the Wohra valley to the northern located Kellerwald impresses. Passing the legendary Rabenstein, which with its holes and grooves resembles a Germanic sacrificial stone, you reach the castle hill. The ruins of the castle founded around 1100 and especially the fairy tale forest located by a watercourse delight you and your children alike.

Tip: I recommend a small detour here to Damms Hofcafe. Here, ice cream is made from the milk of their own cows, which is extremely tasty. A great atmosphere and a wonderful treat!
