Beautiful suspension bridge completed in 2019. It is 180 meters long and 23 meters high. The maximum passage width is 0.85 meters. A highlight, in my opinion, is the "Brüchenbuch", where you can document your impressions. The signage and parking facilities leave something to be desired.

Buchenwald Concentration Camp, officially KL Buchenwald, was one of the largest concentration camps on German soil. It operated as a forced labor camp on the Ettersberg hill near Weimar between July 1937 and April 1945. A total of approximately 277,800 people from 50 countries were imprisoned in Buchenwald during this period.[1] The death toll is estimated at around 56,000, including 15,000 Soviet citizens, 7,000 Poles, 6,000 Hungarians, and 3,000 French citizens.[2] As the 3rd US Army approached on April 11, 1945, the prisoners took control of the camp from the retreating SS, arrested 125 of the guards, opened the gates, and raised a white flag.

What good is a restaurant for a hiker in the late afternoon? It's a shame. I rely on self-catering and no longer rely on opening hours from 5 PM Thursday to Saturday. It's best to bring everything yourself. 🤷♂️😉
