Popular circular trail in the Hainich National Park
Eight pre-Christian sanctuaries are presented on the Germanic Cult Trail, but these are not reconstructions on authentic sites.
Rather, the trail illustrates that the primeval forest was also part of the Germanic world - a world that is documented by the Opfermoor Museum near Niederdorla with artefacts from the Opfermoor.
The hike begins at the Rüspelsweg car park (near Flarchheim), but can also be started at Am Zollgarten (near Kammerforst). It follows the symbol of a mystical tree "The Irminsul Column".
