The cultural landscape
is replaced Eichsfelder primarily as an adventure and
leisure activities a high priority since they will determine the
landscape-recreational use, which is tied to a specific natural features of
the landscape and an aesthetically pleasing landscape, provides a perfect
environment: a varied, delicately structured landscape, in which
anthropogenic influences with natural landscape mix ingredients as well as
cultural and landscape relationships are recognizable, which
give the Eichsfeld the uniqueness.
For the landscape-recreational use primarily includes activities such as
hiking, walking and cycling. These are forms of recreation, where people
meet their need for relaxation from everyday life through the exploration of
nature and landscape. The nature and adventure of scenery stands in the

The Obereichsfeld is known as a plateau achieved in the southeastern
landscape and an average altitude of 450 to 500 m above sea level. The north
ridge of hills extending fertilizer on the other hand, has only an average
height of 350 m above sea level. The fertilizer itself runs from east to
west as a huge wall with a height of 470 to 490 m above sea level by
Eichsfelder landscape.
The elevation in the local area ranges from 205 m above sea level in the
northwest of Hahleaue Worbis and 535 m above sea level of the mountain birch
as the highest elevation in the Eichsfeld Kaltohmfeld. With the strong move,
hilly topography and the numerous slopes along the edges of ridges give rise
to many opportunities to view the landscape, such as in the territory of
Kanstein westward over the Hahletal.
Because of the strong forms of land use and relief differences is the
landscape of open areas, corridors, Grassland and arable land cleared,
and composed of closed forest stands. It is predominantly beech and beech
mixed forests, which in some cases very steep slopes covered. In contrast,
due to agricultural use of the flat hilltops and plateaus (not only the
mountains "Ohmgebirge") predominantly forest-free. By moving between forest
and arable land is often a setting effect of the forest.
On the grassland, for example south of Kirchohmfeld, are often found on the
driest sites, usually on hilltops, areas with heat-loving, thick bushes,
which have a special landscape effect.
In the valley area, z.T. fairly narrow slope valleys are the places created
by the small-scale land such as Garden land and stands of fruit trees a
smooth transition to the open countryside to train. In part, come into the
villages and in the streams before outskirts also associated with brook
woods and wet lawns.
All the larger, flat surfaces are broken only occasionally by wood
structures. Box trees and shrubs are found more in sinks or on hilltops, so
that eg the steeper areas of the field Ohmberg are covered with trees. The
incised valleys typical of the landscape slope within agriculture or pasture,
provided that the slope permits management, often with fruit trees that were,
otherwise with wild trees.
Relatively common landscape elements are companions wood structures,
mostly old alleys or rows of trees, some also from fruit trees, rarely
hedges. For example, accompanying an avenue of chestnut, elm, maple and
linden Kirchohmfeld up the road from the castle Bodenstein and an ash tree
line the road leading Holungen. A fruit tree grows on the old highway avenue
Worbis - Kirchohmfeld.
In the study area are isolated fragments of historical forms of exploitation.
