June 21, 2022,Kyffhäuser Wald und Wiesen Wanderung mit Highlight

from Bad Homburg on the way to Fürstenberg an der Havel in beautiful Bad Frankenhausen. Arrived there at 1 p.m. and immediately walked to the Kaiser Wilhelm monument. The tour through the Kyffhäuser Forest was fantastic, especially the view from the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument in the direction of the Brocken in the Harz Mountains

A direct route looks different, but the extremely warm temperatures necessitated a change of route. And so, it was refreshing to be able to immerse myself in the cool forest after climbing the Schlachtberg and passing through the shadeless orchards. The paths to the Hornungshütte and beyond are excellent, but then the trails become long and boring. Clear your mind …

From Bad Frankenhausen we hiked through the Wüste Kalktal to the Panorama Museum. We continued along the Barbarossa Trail to Tilleda.
