Directions
Directions:
1. From the hospital, walk down the road until you reach a footpath on the left that winds up to the Hubeweg. At the end of the winding path, walk straight ahead along the road and then turn left onto the road that leads to the JRK home (Youth Red Cross) and leads you in the shade of the old chestnut trees up to the edge of the forest.
2. After the parking lot of the JRK home, walk up the path along the edge of the forest. Soon a View over the Borntal down to Einbeck. Behind the bench, follow the main path straight ahead.
3. At the crossroads, take the first path on the left uphill.
4. At the fork, turn left and continue uphill. The path leads through a Spruce and larch stands.
5. At the end of the path, take the main path to the left until you reach “Black Hut”where there is the possibility to rest.
6. From the hut, return the way you came, but after 50 meters, follow the path straight ahead. After another 100 meters, continue straight down the mountain.
7. Once you reach the foot of the forest again, you go up to the right and then left again, always along the edge of the forest around the willow field.
8. Where the forest descends further, follow the path straight into the forest. Many paths lead through the small wooded area. Sooner or later, all of them cross a paved forest road and then lead to the EichendorffalleeFollow this road to the right until you reach the Hubeweg, which leads back up to the entrance of the Borntal valley.
Route information:
The Borntal valley was particularly known in Einbeck as a fruit valley, as its sheltered southern exposure provided ideal growing conditions for fruit trees. Furthermore, the Borntal valley was used by the people of Einbeck as a pasture and grazing land for sheep and cows. Today, agriculture plays only a minor role in the Borntal valley. Although a large part of the valley is still used as grassland, and a few fruit trees still exist, the old farm in the valley to the left of the path has long since fallen into disrepair.
Above the Borntal valley you have a beautiful view over the valley and the old town of Einbeck, from the middle of which the tall market church and the somewhat more squat cathedral church rise.
Of the approximately 1500 hectares of wooded hills surrounding the Hube, approximately 600 hectares are owned by the city of Einbeck. The city's forestry department operates a forestry operation on this area, which is intended not only for timber production but also for nature conservation and, in particular, for local recreation. The forestry department views these functions as equally important and attempts to balance the expenditures with the income from timber production.
The forest is managed by the city's forestry department in a natural forest management system. The forest is now primarily cultivated through natural regeneration and, where appropriate, site-appropriate additional planting. Conifers such as spruce and pine are not part of the natural forest community here and are only occasionally planted for aesthetic reasons and for decorative foliage. Remaining spruce and pine stands are being converted to deciduous stands.
At the edge of Weidenfeld, you can clearly see individual phases of development in the city. In the background, you can see the old town with its two churches, and to your left, the multi-story apartment blocks from the 60s, through which the avenue trees of Teichenweg stretch like a green ribbon all the way to the city center.
