While visiting the small 🛡 medieval market in Rotenhain, a friend and I discovered the hiking sign on the grounds of the large hiking parking lot. We eagerly planned our exploration of the Cloverleaf 🍀 tour together and completed it with Kampf last weekend. There are four trails (blue, red, yellow, and orange). Unfortunately, the paths are poorly maintained; the blue trail in particular was a real nuisance (overgrown to head height), and the yellow and orange trails weren't exactly the best in terms of accessibility either... Only the red trail was easy to hike. There's nothing wrong with a bit of undergrowth, but there's a lot wrong with the jungle-like condition of the trails... We won't be coming back. It's a shame, because with proper maintenance, the trails would have enormous potential for fun and entertainment. Each trail is "usually" about 3-3.5 kilometers long.

A beautiful resting place nearby—peace and time to reflect on the significance of ancient Celtic sites and places. It's a bit mystical here.

In the Tertiary and Industrial Adventure Park Stöffel, you can experience earth history. The unique industrial ensemble documents the 100-year history of basalt mining, and shows you the once hard work at the Stöffel and the processing of the rock. It is worth taking part in a guided tour through the Stöffel-Park. You can find all information here: https://stoeffelpark.de/
