“ARS-NATURA – Art on the hiking trail”, that is, an artistic experience in the “Nature Gallery Space”. Almost 80 works of art are waiting to be discovered on more than 8 km along the Barbarossaweg X 100 from Spangenberg via Melsungen, Felsberg and Fritzlar, via Bad Zwesten to Bad Wildungen.
With a length of around 12 kilometers, this “ARS NATURA circular route X 8a” section is particularly suitable for day trips. Ten works of art decorate the circular hiking trail. It's a good place to "sniff" before exploring the entire "ARS NATURA" on "Schusters Rappen". The start of the circular hiking trail is in the spa park at the Kurhaus in Bad Zwesten, opposite the lower entrance at the Kurhaus.
As with the previous sections of "ARS-NATURA", the careful dialogue between nature and art is groundbreaking. The circular route to Wenzigerode offers wonderful, wide views of the low mountain landscape, dense forest landscape where you can find impressive old trees, the charming half-timbered architecture of the spa town of Bad Zwesten and the pristine nature of the Kellerwaldsteig. The healing and mineral springs as well as the wooded surroundings of the Kellerwald suggested the continuation of the artistic focus on the regenerative powers of nature and human recreation.
