The Eisenberg Gold Trail is more than just an educational trail. It impressively documents the traces of historical mining at Germany's richest gold deposit. The Gold Trail is divided into two independent sections, which can be hiked separately. The first section, with its 1 information stations (as well as the 11th outdoor station), describes the most important traces left by the gold diggers in Goldhausen and around the Eisenberg castle ruins with the Georg-Viktor Tower on the summit of the Eisenberg. This first trail is approximately 12 km long. Plan on approximately 3,3 hours for the walk.
