March 14, 2026, Stairway of Suffering

Officially called the bridge at Badergraben, it has truly earned its nickname with its 183 steps.

Nordic walking is also a very challenging workout. The "staircase of suffering" truly lives up to its name 😅.

An absolute highlight in the new Ronneburg landscape is the dragon's tail bridge 👌🏻.

FYI, the discovery tower is accessible all the way to the top (photo attached), but closed to climbing. As of August 2025, I had a fantastic view from up here. The Dragon's Tail Bridge is currently undergoing renovations after 18 years, expected to last until the end of November 2025, so it's closed. It's possible to walk through the bottom.

Ronneburg Castle is a castle in the town of Ronneburg, located in the Greiz district of Thuringia, and is now used as a museum. A Late Sorbian settlement existed in what is now the town of Ronneburg as early as 900 AD. After 900 AD, this was supplemented by a military post on the castle hill, enclosed by a palisade. Later, the complex was expanded with the addition of the "Front Castle" at the site of the "Rear Castle." With the immigration of German settlers from the 11th century onward, the Vogt (reeve) of Weida were appointed as ministeriales (unfree knights) of the German Emperor, who, among other things, administered the area around Ronneburg (first mentioned in 1209, and granted town rights in 1304) as "Lords of Ronneburg."
