Rennweg – Alltendorfer Cliffs

Highlight • Trail

My personal expectations have not met the Altendorf cliffs. I did not manage to spot any cliffs, and unfortunately the forest is so overgrown that even the hoped-for prospect was not given.

View of Rothenburg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great rest area with a view over Kelbra and Rothenburg, and even to the Brocken on a clear day. There is also a wild and romantic hiking trail via the Rothenburg to the Kyffhäuser. Unfortunately, the 11th-century castle is privately owned and not accessible, but a visit to the Kyffhäuser Monument is worthwhile.
