Rest shelter in the forest

Highlight • Rest Area

It looks relatively new... but it also seems like a foreign object in the forest. The roof can't be finished yet...!?

Johanna Westphal Monument

Highlight • Monument

The small monument commemorates Johanna Westphal (1854 - 1930), the wife of the initiator of the monument construction on the Kyffhäuser. The Privy Councilor and Geodesist Prof. Dr. Alfred Westphal came up with the idea for the imperial monument.

The forest adventure trail goes from the Rothenburg to just before the parking lot at the Kyffhäuser Monument, very informative and exciting for kids.
The stamp office is then “in the middle”.
