The varied scenery of the GeoPark Kyffhaeuser totally measuring 800
square kilometres is considerably marked by its various geological
features.
You can find a pure artificial landscape enriched by beechwoods on the
Shelly limestone of the Hainleite Hills, lean lawn And oak woods on
the gypsum karst terrain of the Kyffhaeuser Mountains, Beach aster
on salt deposits. In the pastures, but marks of potash mining, too.
As of now you can discover parts of this varied scenery on altogether
9 Geopaths. You can choose from short trips, such as on the Geopaths
“Barockdorf Bendeleben”, a village in baroque style, “Bad Frankenhausen”
and “Around the Kyffhaeuser Monument“ , as well
hiking tours on the “Geopath Artern” or on the “Geopath Sued Kyffhaeuser”.
In case you are a keen cyclist, we can offer short trips such as
“Geopath Steinrinne” , but there are longer and more exhausting trips as
well,
