      The Milky Way Trail runs for 4.5 km from Kirchsahr/Burgsahr to the Effelsberg radio telescope. The trail is varied and has information boards and leads westwards along paths, forest trails and partly along the babbling Holzemer stream. After 4.5 km you reach the information pavilion at the radio telescope in Effelsberg.
