    Hiking

    In Gottesackergasse in Sondershausen, clearly visible remnants of the medieval city wall still stand. The fortifications were built around the year 1300 and once protected the city with high walls, towers, and several city gates.

    The section near the Old Cemetery is a reminder of the former Cemetery Gate, through which even Swedish troops invaded the city during the Thirty Years' War.

    Today, the historic wall remnant invites visitors to pause for a moment – a small piece of local history amidst everyday life, showing how Sondershausen was once fortified. A lovely spot for history buffs and curious explorers. 📜
