The approximately 7,5 kilometer long Route 2 into the Lengeltal starts from the Huguenot village of Louisendorf. Past the Huhnsmühle, the path follows the Kellerwaldsteig through the picturesque Lengeltal, which is a nature reserve and is part of the European ecological network Natura 2000. The bullhead, which is endangered throughout Europe, lives in the stream that flows into the Eder. The secret black stork hunts by the stream. Turk's lily and liverwort grow in the forests to be hiked through. We return to Louisendorf via the French strike. On a section of Route 2 you are on the “Huguenot and Waldensian Pad”. The international cultural long-distance hiking trail runs from Louisendorf to Waldeck parallel to the Kellerwaldsteig.

Our tip

The disused chicken mill in the Lengeltal served mainly as a grain mill and was saved from decay through a lot of renovation work.
