Winding path along the Gonna stream

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On the outskirts of the village of Gonna, this narrow path runs along many bends along the stream of the same name. The bank reinforcements were elaborately secured with gabions at the steepest points. That looks impressive too.

Gedankenbank Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The lookout point "Gedankenbank" near Pölsfeld is only a few meters next to the karst hiking trail and from here you have a fantastic view of the village of Gonna, parts of the golden floodplain, the Hohe Linde pit and the Kyffhäuser Mountains.

You can reach the thought bank either from Pölsfeld, via the Pölsfeld windmill or from Obersdorf or Gonna. A path branches off from the karst hiking trail to the viewpoint.
