Schwarzburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Schwarzburg Castle offers an exciting blend of history, impressive architecture, and beautiful nature. Don't miss the Imperial Hall with its imperial portraits, the Princely Armory with its unique collection of weapons, and the magnificent view of the Schwarza Valley.

Rest area at the Schweizerhaus on the Schwarza River

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice place to relax and linger. Opposite is the Swiss house. Unfortunately it is closed at the moment. Otherwise this house is a restaurant. The square also invites you to cool off in the Schwarza in summer.

Schwarza River in the Thuringian Forest

Highlight • River

These fascinating geological formations, also known as scours, are a special feature of this river. Their formation is due to an erosive process caused by the turbulent flow of the water and the sedimentary material it carries. Irregularities in the riverbed, such as small depressions, bumps, or harder rock inclusions, can cause the water to swirl. These initial eddies create a rotating water movement with increased flow velocity and a grinding effect directly on the riverbed.

July 22, 2024,T 53 Von Lichtenhain 64% Gravel über Talsperre Leibis, Schloss Schwarzburg nach Bad Blankenburg Bhf 2% Radweg

Starting point Lichtenhain. Over rough forest gravel, braking downwards to avoid falling on the rubble, to the Leibis Dam, Germany's highest dam. The thing really held. Pushed a hiking trail to the foot of the dam (rubber). Beautiful path. Ate some nice Thuringian dumplings in the "Zum Hirsch" hotel in Unterweissbach. Up and down the gravel paths. Not possible once …
