Wildcat Path
Impressive sights
This seven kilometer long hiking trail leads through a real wildcat habitat, and one of Germany’s last untouched deciduous forests. The road leads through open fields and reforesting areas, then deep into the national park, and is a pleasure for hiking fans. On the halfway point, the watchtower “Hainichblick” gives an impressive view of the forest and the land around it; on a clear day, you can even see the cultural summit of the area in the distance, the castle “Wartburg”. The way is sufficiently equipped with directional markers and resting places; after about two hours, you arrive back in Hütscheroda.
The Wildcat symbol marks the path.
There is a map of the path available in the Wildcat Barn. (0.50€)
