Ascent to Tautenburg Castle Tower

Highlight • Castle

The ascent and descent are quite strenuous and you take this route at your own risk - you could also take a longer route... it is definitely worth it.

View from the Zietschkuppe over the Gleistal Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ascent from Löberschütz is steep and surefootedness is essential. The view makes up for all the effort. In spring (end of April to beginning of May) the spider plantar can be found.

St. Peter and St. John Church, Tautenburg

Highlight • Religious Site

As early as 1232, a chapel is said to have stood on the site of the Tautenburg, the mansion of the inns. The foundation stone for today's neo-Gothic Petrus-Johannes-Kirche was laid on June 18, 1882. The building looks very imposing and is worth a visit.
