From Eisenach train station, the first highlight of the hike is the Wartburg Castle. Hikers then descend into the narrow Drachenschlucht gorge, which was formed by a stream over millions of years. At the end of the gorge, you reach Hohe Sonne, an old hunting lodge south of Eisenach. From there, the trail heads north again along the wine route, which leads hikers to the Bruschnschaft monument. The hiking trail then leads through the town park back to Eisenach railroad station.
