Visit & Events / Wanderweg Greenway

Wanderweg Greenway

The Walhalla Wanderweg Greenway, known to most as “The Greenway,” is a 0.8-mile paved walking and biking path along West South Broad Street. The name honors the City’s German heritage, “wanderweg” means wandering path.

A Path Through Walhalla's History

The Greenway connects several Walhalla landmarks, including Kaufmann Square Park, the historic Earle House, and the County Library. Public access points are located throughout its length, with parking available at Kaufmann Square Park, behind the Old Saint John’s Meeting House, the Earle House, and the County Library.

Trail Details

  • Length: 0.8 miles, paved
  • Route: follows West South Broad Street
  • Pets permitted on leash
  • Etiquette: avoid walking more than two abreast, form a single line in congested areas

Part of a Larger Vision

This 0.8-mile section is the first phase of a planned greenway system envisioned to eventually span approximately 3.25 miles along North and South Broad Streets, incorporating public art and an arboretum-style component as it expands.
