Nature
The forests of Hümmel are managed in a way that promotes near-natural forest stands. These include deciduous forests with an old-growth character, the preservation of deadwood, protected areas, and the restoration of streams. The entire forest area of the municipality belongs to an EU Special Protection Area for birds.
In the Hümmel RuheForst, old trees with tree fungi provide habitats for numerous animal and insect species. Wildcats occur in the forests around Hümmel; there are also thousands of rare beetle species there. The RuheForst is under complete protection: no trees are felled and no wood is removed. At the RuheForst forest car park, a shelter protects visitors from rain and strong sunlight. Free guided tours are offered there.
Trails
The fourth stage of the Old Mills Route leads from Schuld via the Wennefelder Mill and the Hümmeler Mill to Wershofen and is 20 kilometres long.

Its route logo marks the course throughout. The route is described as accessible by train and bus.
