Description

The starting point of this circular tour is the parking lot Unter den Linden on the outskirts of the town of Allstedt.

The town is dominated by the castle and palace of Allstedt, a powerful complex where kings and emperors of the Middle Ages resided, Thomas Müntzer delivered his famous sermon to the princes, and Goethe wrote his Iphigenia. In the Reformation era, the city was the stronghold of Thomas Müntzer, who was called the Satan of Allstedt by Luther.

Here he held the first service in German before Luther did. Thousands came to hear him preach. You can experience a lot of history and some cultural monuments on the way through a scenic and very forested area nestled in the Golden Aue, the foothills of the Southern Harz Mountains, and the Querfurter Platte. This route mainly takes the hiker on nature trails through picturesque mixed forests.

Tip: The historically significant small town has a lot to offer:
• Castle and Palace of Allstedt
• Historic Town Hall
• Wigberti Tower
• City Mill of Allstedt
