Bonifatius Spring and Peace Bell in Schötener Grund

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

From one moment to the next, you go from the (bell) city to the (legendary) forest, from the noise to the sounds of nature and follow the Luther Trail. Beautiful shady paths along the stream, highly recommended.

Thanks to good hiking weather, around 200 people came to the Apolda market square to take part in next year's test hike. Everyone was in a good mood, the field spread out a bit. So everyone in Schöten was able to strengthen themselves and exchange ideas over a snack.

Today, in glorious weather, I explored Apolda and its beers. I walked the Apolda Beer Mile and sampled some of the liquid gold. A fun gathering with good friends.

Something different: the 1st Apolda Beer Mile. 8 different brewery stands along the circular route. Easy access, suitable for strollers, handcarts, etc. Plenty of food and drink at every stop. A successful event.
