Attractions
Among the attractions of the forest or as part cultural monument designated Schalksburg (about 160 m ), the east of the village is large Flöthe is and the only remains of ring walls can be seen. Remnants of this kind also bear witness to a rampart on the Burgberg (approx. 155 m ), which is located southwest of the Oder Forest north of Gielde . Striking trees of the Oderwald are the friendship beech (north of the Hungerberg) and the post oak (on the northern edge of the ridge).
Near the Naturfreundehaus Oderwald in the north of the ridge is the site of a former military training area with bunkers.
The boundary stones of the Duchy of Braunschweig (HB) and the Kingdom of Hanover (KH) traverse the Oderwald, numbered from north to south.
