Mittlere Kernberghorizontale

The central Kernberghorizontale is a relatively flat, narrow hiking trail on the central slope of the Kernberge. You should be a bit dizzy and hard-wearing, even if it's not really dangerous or difficult. The views are terrific. Coming from Jena there are many great views with banks to relax. The student slide is a large rock slide, the thief crib is a mountain slide that has not yet been completed. Towards the end there is a short section where it drops a little steeper. In the end, the cool Fürstenbrunnen lures with picnic benches.
The Saale-Horizontale around Jena is actually completely recommendable, but this section is particularly beautiful, because of the dry hillside location it has almost a Mediterranean flair.
On weekends and public holidays, "oncoming traffic" can be expected ;-)

The "horizontal" on the core mountains are among the most beautiful hiking sections around Jena. Fantastic in fine weather, to be enjoyed with caution in damp weather due to the sometimes steep slopes.
The paths are sometimes very narrow, so that in oncoming traffic you sometimes have to push against the slope.

Most beautiful section of the horizontal with phenomenal views and great paths along the pines and shell limestone rocks.
With a good eye, you can discover many small animals and rare plants.
Recommended all year round.

The slopes are steep and when the sun is shining, it gets damn warm.

There are really crazy people who ride their bikes for a long time ...

With the mountain bike it is a lot of fun. BUT: You should take care of yourself and take all the other consideration, because only then the joy remains unclouded 👍

A holiday feeling is guaranteed after a tour

One of the most beautiful sections of the middle horizontal with great views and photo opportunities.
Sometimes the path is very narrow and it goes straight down at the edge. Therefore you should be sure-footed.
It can get very hot in summer when the sun heats up on one side and the heated limestone rocks on the other.
One should not underestimate the path length. Since the path always pulls into the small side-side-side valleys, you have to cover a very nice route for the rather short stretch between Wöllnitz and the Kernberg district.

Very nice hiking trail with great views, surefootedness is a must and you should also be free from giddiness.
