Regierungsbezirk Gießen walks

The ‘In the Shepherd’s Footsteps’ route takes you to notable spots around Hungen linked to sheep, sheep farming and the flora and fauna of nutrient-poor grasslands. Nine information boards provide plenty of fascinating facts and numerous historical and contemporary photographs. Questions such as the following are answered: - What is the shepherd’s monument?- Where do sheep live in winter?- Did the Romans keep sheep too?- What do sheep like to eat?- What rare animals live around Hungen?- What do sheep do in the woods?- Are there sheep on the volcano? Exciting discoveries await! Walk along old cattle tracks – still in use today – along the Limes, through orchard meadows to idyllic woods.
