Along the Kyffhäuser Radweg cycle path, you almost always have a super brilliant view of the Kyffhäuser. The only shame is that you have very limited options to ride on it (either via hiking trails or via the road).

Ballad "BARBAROSSA": "Old Barbarossa, Emperor Frederick, in the subterranean castle, he keeps himself under a spell. He has never died, he still lives there; he has hidden himself in the castle, sat down to sleep. He has taken down the glory of the empire, and will one day return, with it, in his time. The chair is ivory, on which the Emperor sits; the table is marble, on which he rests his head. His beard is not flax, it is of fiery glow, has grown through the table, on which his chin rests. He nods as if in a dream, his half-open eye winks; and after a long space, he beckons to a boy. He speaks to the boy in his sleep: Go outside the castle, O dwarf, and see if the ravens are still flying around the Mountain. And if the old ravens still fly forever, then I too must sleep enchanted for a hundred years." (by Friedrich Rückert, 1788-1866)
