The Medingschanze in the Spiegelsbergen is a unique historical trench system from 1916 and is considered probably the only surviving show and training facility of its kind in Germany. It is particularly impressive that you can see reconstructed trenches and dugouts from the First World War there, which give an impression of trench warfare.

A great bike path from Gernrode to Ballenstedt. I rode the entire route for the first time on Saturday. My conclusion 👍🏻

Just behind the three-arch bridge is the pedestrian bridge over the Quarmbach. Cars must ford the stream during high water.
