Forest Tours in Gehilfersberg Cemetery Forest Announced for 2025
Nestled in the picturesque hills of the Hessian Kegelspiel above Rasdorf, the Gehilfersberg, a landmark that can be seen from afar, is home to a charming little church at its peak and an idyllic and dignified resting place known as the Gehilfersberg Cemetery Forest.
For those interested in exploring this unique location, Gehilfersberg Cemetery Forest GmbH has announced the dates for its forest tours in 2025. The tours will take place on the following dates:
- August 9, 2025
- September 13, 2025
- October 18, 2025
- November 8, 2025
The tours will last approximately 1.5 hours and offer a chance to learn about diverse burial options, such as family trees, community trees, unique forest floor plots (hearts, stars, wheels, life clocks), and more.
The tours start at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, which can be easily accessed by an asphalted road. Smaller paths branch off from the circular path, leading into the middle and upper areas of the Gehilfersberg, offering views of the Hessian and Thuringian Rhön, as well as the Hünfelder, Eiterfelder, and Hersfelder regions.
For further information about the forest tours, contact Gehilfersberg Cemetery Forest GmbH at Landstraße 12, 36169 Rasdorf, by phone at 06651-980900, or by email at [email protected].

You might also inquire with local hiking or nature groups who organize guided tours.
The forest tours in the Gehilfersberg Cemetery Forest are offered from March to November. So, mark your calendars and get ready to explore this fascinating destination!
