Kennesaw Mountain to Little Kennesaw Mountain loop – Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, Georgia

With a view of the impressive skyline of the ninth largest US metropolis, Atlanta, you will get to know a historically significant place of the American Civil War in the 19th century on the eight-kilometer circular tour on Kennesaw Mountain.

Before you start the hike, you can quench your thirst for knowledge about the history of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain in the permanent exhibition at the Visitor Center. Once you set off, you will climb a nature trail through the forest to the summit of Kennesaw Mountain in a good half hour. From the viewing platform you have a beautiful view of the huge metropolitan region of northern Georgia.

Passing information boards and original cannons from the Civil War, you come a little further down to the actual scene of the war, the Little Kennesaw Mountain Summit, where over 5,000 people lost their lives. The last five kilometers at the foot of the mountain are flat and pleasant to walk, so you can review the impressions and really enjoy it again.
