Circular
Demanding circular route to the Kyffhäuser.
This route leads deep into the legendary forests of the Kyffhäuser mountains and combines a sporting challenge with medieval history. Hikers should be prepared for a route categorised as "difficult", mainly due to the steep, sustained ascent to the summit plateau, which is rewarded with a sweeping view over the Goldene Aue. The trail winds its way through dense mixed forests and characteristic karst landscapes before reaching the iconic Kyffhäuser monument - a monumental structure built on the ruins of the Kyffhausen Imperial Castle.
