The Knüllgebirgsverein (KGV) is a hiking club in Northern Hesse with its headquarters in Neukirchen (Knüll) . The association is entered in the register of associations of the Marburg District Court (VR 3915). He looks after an area around the Knüllgebirge from the Schwalm landscape to the Thuringian border.
The association with 2000 members in 14 branch associations looks after a network of 64 hiking trails as its main task , including not only local hiking trails but also sections of the long-distance hiking trails Lulluspfad , Frau-Holle -pfad and Wildbahn .
The club was founded in 1884 by forester Hugo Borgmann (born April 26, 1841, † January 3, 1906) as a knüll club. In addition to hiking, the goals were the economic development of the remote region, which also led to the construction of the Treysa-Niederaula railway line . Under Harry Heussner there was a significant upswing from 1919 to 1950. These chairmen were honored with the Borgmann tower on the Eisenberg and the Heussner tower on the Mengshäuser Kuppe near Niederaula.
The association is a member of the Association of German Mountain and Hiking Associations . He publishes the club magazine Knüllgebirgsbote every two months and has also published Knüllführer .
