Premium route P3 Blaue Kuppe - Eschwege

The route leads out of the town to the natural monument Blaue Kuppe. The climb up to Lotzenkopf (466 m) is demanding; through the Schlierbachswald forest with a view from Sommerberg, it then descends again. Over meadows and fields, you reach the Eschwege Leuchtberge (289 and 319 m) with their distinctive shape. From the Bismarck Tower there, you can enjoy a panoramic view before returning to the town. The Sophiengarten on Schulberg invites you for a last rest; it is accessible via a signposted detour. Please do not leave the paths in the Blaue Kuppe nature reserve!
