Fascinating nature excursion in Hesse.
This beautiful route leads into the Frau-Holle-Land Geo-Nature Park. The start is in Oberkaufungen at the Alte Schule museum. It heads northwards, parallel to the Losse river, towards the Eilenbach stud farm. The nature here is unique, offering
cherry orchards of cultural and historical significance and is criss-crossed by very different natural areas. These form the basis for the region's great biodiversity. The poppy blossom in particular always attracts visitors who want to enjoy the colours and scent. Passing beautiful flora and fauna, you then reach the Steinertsee lake, which lies in the middle of a well-kept leisure centre of the same name. If the weather is right, you can treat yourself to a short break here to cool down for the return journey. Pass the Lossetal stadium on the way back to the starting point. There are refreshment stops along the route.
