Here the question arises again, is it art or can it go away. The place is questionable.

Steinklöbe Conservation Area Trail

Highlight • Trail

The paved path leads directly from the ark up to the Mittelberg, where the sky disc was found and the lookout tower. If you like, you can turn right on the way and use the forest path up.

June 22, 2024,Wein🍷Wanderung zum Fundort der Himmelsscheibe🪐🛸🌠🚀🌛🛰🌞

This evening we went on a solstice/wine hike. We met at the museum in Nebra at 5.30 p.m. After a visit to the museum and an interesting lecture, we went to the Mittelberg to watch the sunset. There is a lookout tower right next to where the sky disk was found. On the 8km long run, a winemaker gave us …

August 2, 2022,um den Mittelberg zur Arche 👣🌞

First a visit to Arche Nebra and then to Mittelberg (bus). From the final stop, we walked to the Mittelberg, with its imposing lookout tower and the Himmelsauge (site of the legendary 3,600-year-old Nebra sky disc). Yes, we actually wanted to hike back through the forest, but a path became a path and this became increasingly narrow and then became …

August 15, 2025,Von Parkplatz Nebra zur Fundstelle Himmelsscheibe

We jumped in the car and drove to Nebra. 🙂 Parked at the Waldschlösschen restaurant, we headed straight back up the mountain... 😉 No matter, it's only 32 degrees today. A good paved path with plenty of trees along the side providing shade made for good progress. The signposts were quite helpful. Once at the top, you can climb this …

October 19, 2025,❤️🥰 Wandern zum Mittelberg und Arche Nebra erleben 🥰❤️

Experience and learn about the Nebra Sky Disk.

On the way home, we thought about what would be interesting for an excursion.

Nebra?
Yeah, cool. Let's do that.

First, we parked and then hiked to Mittelberg, the observation tower and site where the sky disk was found.

Afterward, we visited the Nebra Arche, the planetarium, and the exhibition.

May 2, 2025,Runde Arche Nebra und Turm Mittelberg in Kleinwangen

Today we finally visited the Ark in Nebra. From the parking lot (€3/day) at the Hotel Waldschlösschen, we walked up the road to the Ark Nebra. There, we took a very informative guided tour. At the end, there was a nice presentation in the planetarium about the background of the disc, which was discovered by treasure hunters in 1999 and …

March 20, 2022,🇩🇪 Sachsen-Anhalt - Arche Nebra Runde

Unfortunately, the circular route is currently badly hit by the storm and closed between Mittelberg and Arche. We then walked a "boring" path, which is also easy to drive on with a pram. Otherwise the circular route is on beautiful paths.

After Janosch and I were able to experience a lecture on the topic of "From the Big Bang to Humans" in the Halle Planetarium yesterday, today we continued with astronomy and history lessons. The Nebra Sky Disk. Found in the Saale district, marketed in the Burgenland district and kept and exhibited in Halle. But it is definitely worth paying a …
