There are more than 1000 kilometre
well-prepared and marked walking paths inviting for a
walking-tour to get to know the varied countryside and to have
intensive relaxation. This region has something very special to
offer:
Whereever the wanderer is he is walking on
historically rich paths. The fortress of the Old Germanic People,
the medieval castles out of the time of Frederic the
First,Barbarossa, the battle fields of the farmers rebellion,
the castles and parks of the Dynasty of
Schwarzburg-Sondershausen -
all those can be investigated by the way.
Some long-distance walking paths cross the Kyffhäuser
District.The most famous and most attractive is the Barbarossa
Path leading over 326 kilometres from Korbach in Hesse to the
Kyffhäuser Memorial.
