To the jewel of the national park
Past an old oak plantation forest and through a blocky creek valley, the Pentecost carnation symbol leads to the steep rocks of the Banfebucht of the Edersee. The Peony carnation, which is rare in Europe, grows there. Past the Banfe pond and the old fish house, we head uphill on a narrow path back to the parking lot. The Warzenbeißer art trail is located on the Bloßenberg route.

The forests in the national park are not used for forestry purposes. Old trees and those at risk of breakage will not be removed. Trees can tip over and branches fall onto the paths. Visiting the national park and using all paths is therefore at your own risk! Please do not go into the forest in strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall.
This disturbs nature
Our natural heritage is protected in the national park. People are guests here. Nature requires special consideration. Therefore, please observe the behavioral instructions.
Nature is severely disturbed by the following actions:
Way markings
You can reach the special features of the national park via the marked hiking trails. Circular trails from the national park's hiking car parks are marked with animal or plant symbols. There are “sign trees” with place names at selected crossroads. They are landmarks for the hiker.
Rescue points
The official rescue points (e.g. KB-426) are entered/marked on the maps and signs on site in the national park. If you are injured, you can inform the emergency services (telephone: 112) of the relevant point. Unfortunately, the cell phone network is not comprehensive.
Liability
No liability is assumed for the accuracy of the information in the text and maps.
Day hiking backpack (approx. 20 liters) with rain cover, sturdy and comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate and durable clothing in a multi-layer principle, telescopic poles if necessary, sun and rain protection, provisions and drinking water, first aid kit, pocket knife, cell phone, maps
The route leads along the largest deposit of Whitsun carnations in Hesse. Attentive hikers can discover the blooming carnations from mid-May to mid-June.
