    Ein sehr schöner und abwechslungsreicher Wanderweg im Eichsfeld. Die Strecke ist gut ausgeschildert und bietet immer wieder tolle Ausblicke auf die sanfte Hügellandschaft der Region. Besonders interessant ist der Besuch des geographischen Mittelpunkts Deutschlands, der dem Weg einen besonderen Charakter verleiht. Die Wege sind überwiegend gut begehbar und eignen sich für Wanderer mit normaler Kondition. Wer Natur, Ruhe und interessante Hintergrundinformationen schätzt, ist hier genau richtig.
