Adventurous hiking trip in Thuringia.
The beautiful Südharz Nature Park invites you to get to know the state of Thuringia, which is spoilt with greenery. The start is in Rüdigsdorf. The route heads eastwards past the Bornberg almost as far as Petersdorf and into the Winkelberg nature reserve, which is well worth seeing. On this route, primeval, dense forest alternates with fairytale clearings in a confined space. Here you are right in what is known as Rüdigsdorfer Schweiz. The wonderfully healthy air and the easy trail contribute to relaxation, as do the beautiful impressions of nature. With a bit of luck, you may come across wild animals in the region, which adds to the primeval forest feeling.
