Hiking

"Here, in 1789, one of the last lynxes in the Thuringian Forest was shot." An inscribed stone, known as the Lynx Stone, commemorates this event. In 2021, in addition to the stone, a wooden brush ear and an information board about forest conversion and lynxes were inaugurated by the Thuringia Forest.

Here a lynx has hidden in the forest and guards the interesting information board about lynxes in the Thuringian Forest. The whole thing, about 10 m away from the trail.

Hiking

In November 2021, an information board and a wooden lynx were erected at the Luchsstein in memory of the last lynx slaughtered in the Oberhof area.
Not far from the Sattelbach Forestry House and Oberhof. Directly on a hiking trail...
