Expansive forests, fields with hedges and field edges, and cozy meadow valleys create a fabulous cross-section of the beautiful and tranquil landscape in the southern Knüll region.

From afar, the Herzberg Castle greets the hiker from its summit. Beautiful views of the Rimberg and other surrounding hills, as well as towards the distant Rhön region, reward those who have climbed the elevation. If you're looking for peace away from the everyday stress, this is the perfect place. Only at the popular castle, frequented by excursionists, does it get a bit more lively. Within the ancient walls of Hesse's largest hilltop castle, one quickly feels transported back to the time of knights. With a bit of luck, on certain festive days, you might even encounter a real knight.

The fairytale trail "Herzberger Ritter" is depicted as Premium Hiking Trail 20 Herzberger Ritter in the overview (Naturpark Knüll flyer).
