Varied hiking trail in the Hainich National Park
The short nightingale trail runs exclusively across the open spaces of the southern Kindel, which are structured in a varied way by hedges and groups of bushes. Ornithologists in particular will not tire of discovering here. A hike in the early morning or evening hours is particularly recommended. The route begins at the "Kindel" hiking car park on the B 84 between the towns of Grossenlupnitz and Behringen. Arrived at the highest point of the hiking trail, a wonderful view opens up over the wide open spaces of the Kindel.
