The Hainturm is one of the towers on the Three Towers Trail. For some time now it has been open again on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and admission is one euro to help maintain the tower.

Carolinenturm on Kötsch (Touringen Stamp Station No. 345)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 26-meter-high structure was built in 1909 and is visible from afar. The Carolinenturm and its surroundings are preserved, maintained, and perfected by the non-profit association Kötschberggemeinde e.V. (Kötschberg Community). 106 steps lead up to the platform.

Paulinenturm (Touringen Stamp Point No. 344)

Highlight • Monument

When the weather is good, you can enjoy a wonderful and wide view. To get to the tower's platform, you climb more or less through a folding door.

May 11, 2024,Drei-Türme-Weg Weimarer Land 🏰 - Thüringen 🇩🇪

Beautiful circular hike that is definitely worth a day trip. The tour is basically doable for everyone and not very demanding, provided you are reasonably fit 😉. The three towers (Carolinenturm, Hainturm and Paulinenturm) are all in good condition and can also be visited (note opening times!). There are enough places to stop for a break - here too, note …

A very beautiful and, above all, very well signposted circular route. The circular hiking trail connects the Paulinenturm in Bad Berka with the Hainturm near Weimar and the Carolinenturm near Blankenhain. On the circular route you can stop off at 3 forest restaurants, each one more idyllic than the last. Thank goodness I didn't have to choose because there were …

Very nice circular route.
Recommendation: Download the app of the same name. This is a great audio guide with interesting expert information, history and legends.

It was the turn of the only quality hiking trail in the Weimarer Land today. Unfortunately, I slept for a long time this morning, so the actual tour didn't start until noon. The Hainturm and Carolinenturm were open. Unfortunately, the view was not too special today and the story of Caroline Reuss zu Greiz, who died early, should be …

Yesterday there was a storm, but today we hiked, so some paths were very muddy. Screw it... the tour was simply beautiful. The towers are gorgeous to look at, and the views over Weimar and Bad Berka are fantastic...😂😂 Even the long walks and the villages were never boring. The finale at the Paulinenturm in the restaurant with coffee, ice …

And once again a visitor from the north in Thuringia.
Today we went with @Tina kissling on the Three Towers Trail between Bad Berka in bright sunshine through flowering fields... oh no, different: in rain, thunderstorms through forests and fields under a grey sky 😅
It was still nice, funny, great conversations and lots of laughter. I'd love to do …

What a mega tour! I can only recommend the Thüringer Drei-Türme-Weg to all hiking fetishists! Even without #komoot, you can find your way around well, because the whole trail is super signposted with the 3-tower symbol. 👌🏻

>27km that are worth it. Through shady and sunny forest paths with many resting places and, besides the 3 towers, which only appear …

I've often seen and liked the Thuringian Three Towers Trail here on komoot. That definitely made me curious 🧐 and now it was time for me to discover the historic towers, the Hain, the Carolinen and the Paulinenturm on a tour. 🚶🏻‍♂️
