Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Continue into the open fields with beautiful views over the gently rolling hills with their two small and very pretty hamlets. In the valley to the right Damshausen is dreamily situated in the natural area Damshäuser Kuppen. Dreaming is also allowed at the marvellous resting area with panoramic view. It is now only a stone's throw to the Rimbergturm. The Rimbergturm was destroyed by a storm in 1971 and rebuilt in 1997 by the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf which was supported by neighboring communities as well as private donations. Do not miss the chance to climb the tower and enjoy the panoramic view!
Afterwards a small path will lead us downhill to the edge of the forest. A little while later on the left-hand side we can see the Rimbergturm at the mountain once again, before Caldern comes into our view. Here is the trail’s matching: after all, you have been walking along the Rimbergstraße through "Calantra". This was the first documented name of Caldern at the beginning of the 9th century.
