Next to the road, a beautiful hiking trail leads up to the Leuchtenburg. When you get to the seating area with the information board, you can either continue on the wine trail or climb straight up to the castle.

Zickzack-Lutherweg Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Narrow path that goes constantly uphill. In rainy weather, etc., I don't want to go up or down. I just went up today. Niece for those afraid of heights. Down the others. Right the way over the meadow.

May 29, 2024,Dohlenstein – lichtkasteel rondtocht vanuit Kahla (Thür)

Walked this circular walk from komoot. Start and end Kahla station. Started from our stay. Beautiful trip with nice views.

The circular walk around Leuchtenberg was closed halfway along the Panoramaweg, so we had to return there.

I think: if the paths are wet, you should avoid the climb to Dohlenstein, as I did in constant serpentines, or at least wear suitable footwear. You should also be able to assess your personal condition well

A pleasant and manageable hike, mostly on narrow forest paths, from Kahla train station up to Leuchtenburg. A delight despite the drizzle and cloud-covered summit! We stopped off at the Blume bakery before setting off.
