You can already guess: Tilda is on her way home and there is always a worthwhile destination along the way that enriches the last day of her vacation. Since we have the Heavenly Paths on the program this year, a visit to Arche Nebra is an obvious choice.

Today we're on the trail of archaeoastronomy, heading for the site where the Nebra Sky Disk was discovered. From the parking lot on the outskirts of Wangen (€3 fee/day ticket), we headed toward Mittelberg. Beautiful, narrow forest paths lead up to the observation tower, which can be climbed year-round. The tower itself and the area surrounding the disk's discovery site …

Some adventurous paths with surrounding trees. Nevertheless, highly recommended 👍

Nice easy autumn hike, the climb to the tower is doable and after the 199 steps we had a view as far as the Kyffhäuser. Then we went over the Arche back to the Waldschlösschen, where there was delicious food to feast on. The walk is highly recommended

It is a beautiful circular route with some steep sections. You should be sure-footed. And I recommend doing the loop like me, clockwise.
