Kaiserweg

Der Kaiserweg ist ein frühzeitlicher Handelsweg von Goslar über Bad Harzburg, Walkenried nach Tilleda. Er ist benannt nach der Flucht Kaiser Heinrich IV. von seiner Harzburg in den Schutz der südharzer Klöster und nach Tilleda im Jahre 1074.

At 57.0 km, this is a demanding long-distance hike that may be split across multiple days. Experienced hikers typically take around 12 hours and 40 minutes to complete it end-to-end.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. Look for the KW trail markings to stay on the official route.

A Regional Walking Network (RWN) route, this trail weaves through the regional landscape connecting villages, viewpoints, and countryside.
