Bei de Hullerkeppe - Hiking in the spirit of Wacholder schnapps

The “Bei de Hullerkeppe” themed hiking trail was created on the occasion of the village’s 600th anniversary in 2018 and is based on the Dotzlar dialect as well as the Wacholder juniper.The name “Willkommen bei den Wacholderköpfen!“ in High German means “welcome to the home of the juniper heads!”: On the one hand, because the village inhabitants enjoy a juniper schnapps from time to time and, on the other hand, because the route leads past three juniper heaths.
The 19 kilometre long trail offers villages and geological features that are well worth seeing. Enjoy the beautiful views and marvel at the diverse fauna: Juniper sometimes appears as trees, sometimes as bushes - a true chamaleon.
Some of the most beautiful juniper heaths in the Wittgensteiner Land are connected by the six-hour hiking trail. The option of splitting the trail up into three offers you a multifaceted hiking experience.
Explore Dotzlar’s exciting history and enjoy the fantastic view of the juniper heaths!
