Frau-Holle-Land Jausenstation Hoher Meißner

Leisurely hiking on the Hoher Meißner

The Hoher Meißner in the Geo Nature Park Frau-Holle-Land, not far from the former border with the GDR, is the home of Frau Holle and a wide range of myths and legends.

The special climate on the plateau, comparable with mid-Sweden, produces mountain pastures with many species of rare plants and animals. More than 40 springs supply the surrounding villages with water, while mighty basalt rocks ensure, by means of cooling evaporation, that the water from the ice spring is never warmer than 1-3 degrees, even in summer.

All the hiking trails that cover the most beautiful destinations of the Hoher Meißner on circular routes have been tested by the German Hiking Institute and have been awarded the quality hiking seal as a Premium Trail.

Our partner business Jausenstation, with a newly-built ****TOP guest house, is the location for the production of traditional and ecological food with natural, untreated raw materials and spices. The unique North Hessian specialities, which have received many awards, are served in the restaurant and café, and can also be purchased in the attached farm shop and taken home.

It is rare to find a family business these days that still makes almost everything itself. More than 150 products are produced by home slaughtering, the farm dairy, and the bakery.
