The impression may be deceiving, but in hardly any region do more hills seem to be crowned with historic buildings of various functions and origins than in the hilly land between Weimar, Jena, and Ilmenau. This is largely due to a real "construction boom" in the 19th and early 20th centuries, to which many observation towers are also owed: There are round and square, tall and low, simple and elaborate ones. Two of these towers, the Carolinen- and Paulinenturm, mark the eastern and western points of this tour, which runs mostly on easy-to-walk paths through Buchenwald. The return takes place in the Ilm valley.
We leave the parking lot, cross the main road straight ahead, and hike into Schenkgasse opposite. After 50 m, at a fork, we choose the asphalt path slightly to the left, which we follow uphill. 200 m past the edge of town, we turn left onto a driveway. We stick to it even where it becomes a road behind a campsite and loses altitude. Then we decide for a field path to the right into a side valley (marked "Thuringian Three Towers Trail"). At the turnoff to Otternburg, continue straight ahead. At the next cross path after about 1 km, we leave the Three Towers Trail, take the forest road to the left, climb the slope, and reach Kiliansroda straight ahead, where we turn right between the first houses. At the top of the street, go briefly left before following a field path sloping uphill to the right after a few meters through open fields.

Sabine Gilcher
Sabine Gilcher, Jahrgang 1962, wuchs im bayerischen Alpenvorland auf, mit einem Hochmoor direkt vor der Haustür, den Osterseen gleich um die Ecke und den Bergen immer in Sichtweite. Die Liebe zur Natur wurde daher früh geweckt und später im Studium der Landespflege vertieft. Heute lebt sie als Landschaftsplanerin in Freiburg im Breisgau. Ein Aufenthalt als Erntehelferin auf einem Bauernhof in Norwegen weckte die Liebe zu Skandinavien. Seit mehr als 30 Jahren bereist sie Europas Norden und Nordwesten und lässt sich jedes Mal von Neuem von den dortigen Landschaften faszinieren. Ihre Hobbys Wandern und Fotografieren sind die ideale Kombination zum Erstellen der Wanderführer für den Rother Bergverlag und das Wissen um ökologische Zusammenhänge kommt ihr sowohl im Gelände als auch beim Verfassen der Wanderführer sehr zustatten.
