Primeval forest path Rüdigsdorfer Schweiz "Harz" ------------------------------ www.thueringer-urwaldpfade.de

The primeval forest trail in Rüdigsdorf Switzerland is one of 16 primeval forest trails through nature reserves in Thuringia. Hikers encounter a unique, awakening natural environment in the South Harz gypsum karst landscape. A special highlight is the 22-meter-high observation tower. Several information panels are located at the top. A wonderful hike, highly recommended.
