Baladenweg, Molmerswende

Literature meets nature: the Balladenweg in Molmerswende combines hiking with the fascinating stories surrounding the poet Gottfried August Bürger. The circular route, approximately 6.5 km long, winds through the varied landscape around his birthplace.

Far from the noise of roads and traffic, the route invites you to enjoy a relaxing break in the heart of nature. Here, the tranquillity of the countryside blends with Molmerswende’s literary heritage. In future, audio stations are to be installed along the trail, where visitors can experience selected ballads and further content relating to Gottfried August Bürger.

The circular trail is particularly suitable for literature enthusiasts, families and walkers who wish to combine nature, culture and regional history. The result is a special walking trail in the Mansfeld-Südharz region that charmingly combines physical activity with literary discoveries.

Worth a visit

A special destination for hiking enthusiasts is the ‘In the Shadow of the Witches’ stamp for the Harz Hiking Pin, which is located right next to the Kunsthof Molmerswende. This makes it the perfect way to combine the hike with another popular activity for Harz and stamp collectors.
