A very nice quiet place for a long break. There is also a direct route from the open pit down to the lake which is not noted on the map. But you can see right away.

Heathland at Schwarzenberg Hut

Highlight • Natural

Dry heaths owe their existence to unregulated grazing over long periods of time, during which a hut forest was transformed into a more or less tree-free, open area by the browsing of cattle.

From the Bilstein car park, the trail leads through the Gläsnertal to the Königsalm to Kaufungen and Helsa, to Wickenrode and Großalmerode. The highlight is Bilstein with its traditional forest restaurant. In addition to the good service, there is also a magnificent view to enjoy here.🚴🌝

July 24, 2024,Fahrradtour neuer Rundkurs im Kaufunger Wald

Today we met up - @Hubert, @Dieter., @🚲🚵‍♀️MTB_Bikebeast_Reini🚵🏼😎 and I - to test the new tour in the Kaufunger Forest. It's a constant up and down, but a very nice route to ride, with a wonderful view at the Bilstein Hut. From there it's a leisurely downhill ride towards Königsalm, where the tour ends.
