If you don't have a bike with you, you just have to run (walk).

For the first time in all three castles. So far only walked around it.

Whenever I drive on the A4, I am fascinated by the three castles. Every time I thought, you have to hike it. And today I made it come true.

August 20, 2025,die "Drei Gleichen"

Three castles, even if some are ruins, in one ride aren't something you'll find everywhere in Germany. After my last trip to Thuringia, I passed by and wondered if it might be possible to do them all in one go. It's possible! And it's a very pleasant tour. Okay, crossing the highway and the last few hundred meters to Wandersleben …

Travel to the start in Wandersleben by public transport; also the journey home from Haarhausen with public transport.
The tour started in Wandersleben, through Freudenthal and then up to Gleichen Castle, where there was the first hiking stamp.
Then we went downhill again under the A4 to the rest stop, where I treated myself to a bratwurst. Then we went …
