Recommended seasons
Fantastic views and sights line the Golddorf Route, which begins at the Peace Oak in the Federal Gold Village of Oberhenneborn and is marked throughout with a golden “G” on a red background. On the trail running parallel to the Ruttenberg, hikers cross the little Sachmecke River and soon reach a rock formation—the “Henneborner Loreley.” Passing between two giant spruce trees, the trail leads downhill to the SGV Oberhenneborn hut—and then steeply uphill. Every step is worth it, because at the top, a fantastic view of the Henne Valley opens up! Passing a wayside shrine, hikers then walk around the Heyer Knochen to the Kreuz Chapel and finally return to Oberhenneborn via the Bee Nature Trail.
