Be sure to venture out and take the view from the other side of the spring-fed lake; a very beautiful view back towards the spring and the linden tree ♡. The tree by the shelter is something special.

A special attraction is the scenic "Widderstatt" site, located on the Jüchsen-Wachenbrunn road, one of the most important prehistoric settlements in southern Thuringia. The first evidence of the Celtic settlement "Widderstatt" was discovered in 1905 by the Jüchsen pastor F. Späth, and in 1954, Klaus Heydenblut from Themar discovered the first bronze jewelry and fragments of glass arm rings. In 1966, under the direction of Prof. Behm-Blanke (honored by a memorial stone in the Widderstatt), systematic excavations began (2 x 70-meter sections) of 1.2 hectares from the stream to the Toter Mann parcel, heading west.

The former GDR border installation is definitely worth a look.

Touringen Stamp 250 - Shelter on Rankenberg. And again and again, there are idiots who destroy and vandalize. What goes through the minds of people who do things like that? Such destructiveness is not normal. 😞
