HO6 - Blutbach-Route

Since the battle between Widukind and Charlemagne's army in 782, the deeply incised valley on the west side of the Hohenstein has been known as the "Totental". The stream that flows through the Totental valley is also named "Blutbach" (blood stream) to commemorate this event, as it is said to have dyed the stream blood-red at the time. Today, the landscape around the Blutbach is friendly. Hikers who visit this historic area in spring can enjoy the blooming yellow and white wood anemones.
