Station 2: 16.06.–15.08.2025 Deserted Hohenrode, Grillenberg

Dear hiking friends,

The hiking stamp box has rea­ched its 2nd sta­ti­on for this sea­son today and is alre­a­dy wai­ting for the first hikers.

Hohen­ro­de is a medieval deser­ted sett­le­ment in the area of the pre­sent-day vil­la­ge of Gril­len­berg. It was archaeo­lo­gi­cal­ly inves­ti­ga­ted bet­ween 1935 and 1937. The sett­le­ment can be dated to the 12th to 14th cen­tu­ry. Based on the remains of the walls 

the ground plans of the medieval farm­steads are cle­ar­ly visible.

We recom­mend start­ing the hike from the Gril­len­berg hiking par­king lot and fol­lo­wing hiking trail 60b, mark­ed with a red hori­zon­tal line, to the Hohen­ro­de deser­ted settlement.

It is also pos­si­ble to use the Pfer­de­köp­fe par­king lot and fol­low the trail from Koh­len­stra­ße to Köh­ler­platz. Then turn onto hiking trail 60 b, mark­ed with a red hori­zon­tal line, which leads to the Hohen­ro­de deser­ted settlement.
