Saxony-Anhalt walks

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.

The city on the Elbe was once a major centre of the Reformation. It is regarded as the media hub of the Reformation, where Luther delivered his famous sermon at St John’s Church in 1524. Several stops along the route invite visitors to learn more about the history of the Reformation in Magdeburg.

The Adlereiche Walk in Friedrichsbrunn is a moderate, family-friendly circular walk with places to stop for refreshments. From the car park, heading towards Allrode/Güntersberge, the route leads past the Klobenbergbaude and along Brandholzstraße to the Adlereiche and on to the Friedrichsbrunner Blick. The route then follows the forest road into the centre of Friedrichsbrunn and back along the main road to the starting point. A varied circular walk for anyone who wants to enjoy nature and leisurely hiking trails.
