Circular route on the theme "Landscape in Transition"

The route connects the original components of the local World Heritage site: the old town of Goslar and the Rammelsberg ore mine. For the nature-seeking hiker, a landscape unfolds that has been shaped entirely by human hands, after ore was probably first discovered at Rammelsberg about three thousand years ago. After the end of mining in 1988, its traces fell out of view and were gradually covered by the flora characteristic of post-mining landscapes. The route offers a nature experience in an ancient cultural landscape and can be comfortably completed in three hours.
