Tips from the Community
Not far from Braunsroda, you'll find an impressive avenue of old oak trees that runs directly along the edge of the Hohe Schrecke forest. The mighty, centuries-old trees seem like silent witnesses of times gone by, giving the path an almost mystical character. The interplay of light and shadow is particularly impressive when the sun breaks through the dense crowns and bathes the landscape in a warm light. The avenue invites you to take a quiet break - here you can pause, soak up the special atmosphere and let your gaze wander over the fields and forests. A highlight for anyone who loves the combination of cultural-historical landscape and rustic nature.
