Usseln Milk Experience Trail

The Usseln Milk Adventure Trail starts at the Tourist Information in Usseln, Sportstrasse 7. If you have not yet downloaded the accompanying quiz sheet from the Internet, you can pick up the quiz sheet at the Tourist Information. The trail leads along the Diemel past the former Usseln ski jump. If you like, you can take the small parallel hiking trails through the Lohwald forest back to the hiking trail. We now come to the so-called duck pond, where there is a wonderfully situated playground for a short break. Continue along the paved path to the first interactive station, the water play station at the Pön Hütte. The Pön Hütte is located at the Usseln ski lift, which is only in operation when there is enough natural snow. We now start from here to the Diemel spring. This is followed by a somewhat long ascent. But you can manage it! Once you reach the top, turn left along a wonderful little trail to the Diemel spring. You can ring the cowbells here! Now it's a little uphill again. But there is a short break, because at the next station you can collect spruce cones and throw them through the cheese hole tarpaulin! Now it's just a few meters to the Graf Stolberg Hütte. Here you and your parents can take a longer break. With a wonderful view, there are great little films about agriculture to watch in the hay barn cinema. After the Graf Stolberg Hütte, the trail leads us to the left onto the Panorama Pönweg. To solve the quiz, count the cows or cattle through the telescope at the next station. You will soon cross the ski lift slope and can pick some delicious blueberries along the way in August. We call them "Kronoggen" in Low German. At the end of the panoramic trail, there is a photo station where you can take a great selfie! Before heading downhill to the Upland farmer's dairy, you can jump into the air again on the cowpat trampoline. Another kilometer or so downhill and you've reached the end of the trail. You can pick up a refreshing prize at the Upland farmer's dairy when you hand in your quiz sheet. Either the organic store is open or the Milchmuhseumscafé, where you can discover historical facts about milk. Have fun on our varied themed trail about agriculture and milk!
