Premium route P22 Sankt Ottilien

On varied paths, the P22 leads for a length of 11.5 km through open fields and extensive forest sections. At the starting point, in the village centre of the former Huguenot settlement St. Ottilien, stands the Huguenot House built around 300 years ago. Along the way, you will discover the "Sancta Ottilia" on the St. Ottilien hill (446 m) and the "Gläsnerborn" at the Hüttengraben; information boards explain the exciting backgrounds at each point, and there are always new distant views opening up towards Kaufunger Wald and Hoher Meißner.

The nature of the Söhre is characterized by its wealth of forest and water. This is particularly evident on the P22 where the path runs along the nature reserve "Heubruchwiesen" with its alder and ash floodplain forests. Extensive, trail-like paths and resting benches along "Männer-Wasser", "Hüttengraben" and "Hirschhagenerwasser" repeatedly invite you to "let your soul dangle" by the rushing brook.
