Nice place to take a break. Benches and table, as well as a little variety. And afterwards it goes along the orchards.

Along the Kyffhäuser Cycle Path, you almost always have a super brilliant view of the Kyffhäuser.

Beautiful cycle path on the old narrow-gauge railway line. Therefore, there are no excessive gradients and it is also well suited for tours with kids. Otherwise, great views of nature and the Kyffhäuser.
