View of Leuchtenburg

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the neighboring Pfaffenberg there is not only a beautiful view, in spring the meadows are full of wild primroses and liverworts. There is also a cache at the top.

Narrow path that goes constantly uphill. In rainy weather, etc., I don't want to go up or down. I just went up today. Niece for those afraid of heights. Down the others. Right the way over the meadow.

March 20, 2022,Thüringen/ Mittleres Saaletal… 👧gerecht ;) über den Pfaffenberg zur Leuchtenburg, Panoramarunde von Kahla

A really great panoramic tour for which children are also enthusiastic! You are constantly accompanied by the view of the castle. At the same time, the eye cannot get enough of the great landscape down into the valley. The tour of the castle is worthwhile, entertaining and with insights into history. After a long break at the highest point of …

Dream hike 😍. I've wanted to hike to Leuchtenburg for a long time, and today it finally worked out and the weather was perfect. We set off from Kahla via Dohlenstein to Leuchtenburg. There I visited the castle and, as is the tradition there, I made a wish while breaking porcelain. The castle can only be visited with an entrance …

A short but very beautiful and varied tour to Leuchtenburg Castle – including a visit.
We started at the train station in Kahla. First, there were some beautiful climbs up the Dohlenstein, which was impressive even from below. Once at the top, there was a magnificent view. The path then continued along the ridge to Leuchtenburg Castle.
There's much to …

September 30, 2023,Die Leuchtenburg bei Kahla! Wunderschön!

I think: if the paths are wet, you should avoid the climb to Dohlenstein, as I did in constant serpentines, or at least wear suitable footwear. You should also be able to assess your personal condition well

June 6, 2022,Pfingstwanderung 🌸🥾🎒zur Leuchtenburg🏰

Today we went from Kahla to the Leuchtenburg with kith and kin. The ascent to the Dohlenstein was quite challenging🥵🥵 Actually, a short detour to a viewpoint on the Dohlenstein was planned, but the approaching rain front thwarted our plans. As soon as we arrived at the Leuchtenburg, it started🌧... There was a lot to discover on the castle grounds …
