Ascent to Tautenburg Castle Tower

Highlight • Castle

The ascent and descent are quite strenuous and you take this route at your own risk - you could also take a longer route... it is definitely worth it.

February 9, 2025,Tautenburger Planetenpfad (Touringen Stempel 403, 404, 405)

A relatively short round trip for three hiking stamps. But with the journey there and back, it takes six hours. On the way, you can learn a lot of interesting things about our solar system from the information boards set up along the way. The topic is no surprise: on the hike you pass the Thuringian State Observatory "Karl Schwarzschild …

A long-standing plan, and today it was completed 👍🏻 A very nice loop. It started in a beautiful little village, climbed up to the castle ruins, and then continued along the Planet Trail toward the observatory (unfortunately closed; see the pictures for opening hours) and back again. I also got three stamps ☺️

What a beautiful route... I love it when nature awakens in spring... and I was looking for stamps again 😆. This flat stage mostly leads through the forest on paved paths and if you only stay on the planet path, this route is even suitable for strollers and barrier-free. You can also cycle here very well and find out useful …

We started today's "space tour" in the sun. From here you hike, at a scaled distance of
1 : 1,000,000,000, the most important celestial bodies: the planets, the asteroid belt, the dwarf planets and the Kuiper belt.
Boards at the locations provide interesting information about the objects in space.
The path is very easy to walk on because it is …

First of all, thanks to @Andrea and @Andre.....a meise✌️ for your inspiration for today's hike 😃 We almost hiked afterwards 😉
Shortly before the end of our tour, Komoot canceled 🙄
That's why there's a short second tour.

What is there on 01.01. better than hiking when the night was very, very short?
The planet path is therefore a recommendation because the distance between the planets and their proportions in our solar system can be so convincingly imagined.
If available, also take children with you who can develop a certain idea of the topic.
