The picturesque Gehilfersberg, with its quaint little church atop the hill, is nestled in the rolling hills of the Hessian Kegelspiel above the charming town of Rasdorf. This landmark, visible from afar, is home to the Gehilfersberg cemetery forest, an incomparable and dignified resting place that has been serving the community for 16 years.
For those interested in learning more about this unique burial site, guided tours are scheduled for August, September, October, and November in 2025. These tours will provide insight into diverse burial options, including family and community trees, and unique forest floor sites such as hearts, stars, wheels, or life clocks.
