What a story about the Goldhut, the circular route leads over beautiful forest paths with a total of 9 stations and information boards.

Here in 1953, the gold hat was accidentally found by Michael Dörner from Ezelsdorf while collecting wood as a "sheet that is a hindrance to work". The finder completely chopped the golden hat and tossed it aside. The fragmented sheet metal parts were later collected for their shimmering gold color by the worker's wife and presented to a dentist. A melt test showed that the sheet was made of solid gold.

Here is the 9th and last stop on the Goldhut hiking trail.
A lot of information about the Bronze Age and the Goldhut can be found on the hiking trail and its signage.

The gold hat sculpture and the former site are not far apart.

The site itself is unfortunately quite unspectacular, there is only an information board.
