The Burgwald forest, ‚Burgwaldtour Christenberg’:: The Burgwald forest 77 square miles, 400 km hiking trails, natural forest, nature reserve ‘Franzosenwiesen’ (engl.: French meadows), bird sanctuary, fairy woods of the Brothers Grimm! The German hiking trail of the year 2004 with quality certificate of the German Hiking Institute is to be found in the Burgwald forest. Unique experiences, terrific nature, landscape and excellent marking of the paths make this forest worth hiking in. Especially recommendable is the tour ‘Burgwaldtour Christenberg’, which leads you through the deep Burgwald forest.

Marburg/Lahn:: Your day trip 22 km away from Rosenthal: Venice is known for its thousand bridges, Marburg for its stairs and alleys. Even Jacob Grimm once said: ‘I believe there are more stairs in the streets than there are in the houses.’ Crooked, with many angles and steep, that is up-town Marburg. Here you can still feel and see the Middle Ages. Boris Pasternak also felt that way: ‘If this here was only a town! But it is even a mediaeval fairy tale.’ For good reason Marburg is situated at the ‘German Street of Fairytales’. We will now go up to the castle. Here you can let your gaze wonder over the slanting roofs of the town, the Middle Ages are beginning to disappear and you get aware of the different architecture. These are not the times of Martin Luther and Huldrych Zwingli anymore, who in 1529 had a serious religious debate in Marburg. Here old and cockeyed houses of the ancestors associate with the modern architecture of the 20th century.
