Attention: Some of the hiking pass stations of the Kellerwaldsteig hiking pass have moved. The reason for this is that we have revised the route of the Kellerwaldsteig for you. The changes also affect the hiking pass stations "Asel", "Paradies" and "Schönstein". The current locations differ from those in the printed hiking pass. You can find the new locations here on the map.
Attention hiking enthusiasts and geocaching fans!
Do you already know our new geocache-based hiking pass for the Kellerwaldsteig?
From now on you can hike the Kellerwaldsteig with our hiking pass and visit 10 punching stations. There you punch your passport with a motif and can also log the geocache located there. Once you have visited all the stations, you will receive a unique hiking coin or a trackable as a reward!
As an alternative to the Kellerwaldsteig, we have put together a collection of short circular hiking trails that you can also use to reach the stations.

Ark Region
The Arche region near Frankenau is characterized by its small-scale cultural landscape. The focus is on protecting old breeds of domestic animals. Today they are presented in pasture paddocks, on heath and mountain pastures and along old meadows. They help to preserve flower-colored meadows, poor grasslands and heaths.
