In the middle of the green heart of Germany, the historic capital of the Eichsfeld region combines historical customs, pretty buildings from different stylistic eras and a wonderfully hilly environment. In a very scenic location, the Heiligenstadt city forest offers the best conditions for extended hikes in the wooded surroundings: on pilgrimage trails, to the Devil's Pulpit or on the nature park trail "Leine-Werra", past fairytale castles on mountain heights and former monasteries in quiet forest valleys. With numerous certified and "traumtour" routes, the extensive network of hiking trails in the Eichsfeld leaves nothing to be desired. A lovingly designed fairy tale park makes children's hearts beat faster.
