Today we went to the Kyffhäuser. We wanted to hike to the summit and therefore started in Tilleda, where there is a nice parking lot for hikers.

The ascent led along meadows and later through the forest on a very nice path. Above we looked at the lower castle and of course the monumental monument. Since we were on the …

The first 2.5 km were characterized by several beautiful views of Kyffhäuser, a dream in this beautiful weather. Then came the ravine towards Tilleda, the orchards with lots of pears and apples and again we had the Kyffhäuser in view before the climb to the lower castle began. The steep ravine was tough. Then, while looking at the lower castle, …

The first tour back in Germany takes me to the mystical and historic Kyffhäuser.
Even if my predecessors from the book avoided the Kyffhäuser monument, it was clear to me that I would take it with me years later. And it's always worth it.
The humidity made the 11 km a sweaty adventure. 😎👌🇩🇪
Oh, afterglow is secured, mushroom year …

After a long time, another tour with @Lisa 🙂

This time we're exploring the Kyffhäuser Mountains. From Tilleda at the royal palace, we followed historic paths to the monument on the Kyffhäuser.

Barbarossa still towers over the area, as ever.

A lovely hike, despite the less-than-perfect weather. But we're used to that by now, aren't we, @Lisa? 😉😅
