Heldrastein / Photo: Sun and fog struggle for dominance in the forest at Heldrastein. © Bergverlag Rother GmbHPhoto: Sabine Gilcher, Rother Bergverlag
The striking Heldrastein drops steeply to the north towards the Werra Valley with vertical shell limestone rock cliffs. From the top edge, there are wide views to the north, which are even surpassed when you climb the 30 m high Tower of Unity (a converted Stasi listening post!) and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic view.
From the car park at the church, it's just a few meters down to the Werra bridge, which we cross. 100 m behind the bridge, we turn right towards Heldra and head straight to the village (ignore "P6" here). We walk straight over the intersection in the pretty village center (ignoring the signage to Heldrastein) and at the edge of the village choose a field path to the right (continuing with "P6" here). It leads us with a left curve to the Blue Bridge, over which we cross the Werra to continue our tour half-right behind it.At the forest edge, the path turns left. At the next fork, we choose the patrol road half-right uphill. A few meters past the subsequent hairpin bend, we leave it again, choose the path leading uphill to the left and climb briskly in the forest. Reaching the ridge, it continues with less incline and with the forest edge on the right, soon meeting the patrol road again and following it straight on.Behind a tar road, a narrow path begins the steep ascent – partly over

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.
