Dragon Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

We started early and had the gorge almost to ourselves. An absolute highlight, and not just for children - high rocks, water and plants create a unique backdrop.

Dragon Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

After three weeks of hiking in Thuringia, I can say that this is the most beautiful natural spectacle I have seen. Great how the path meanders through the moss-covered rocks of the gorge.

The Landgrafenschlucht is a little more lovely than the neighboring Drachenschlucht, but its rock formations and vegetation are no less impressive. A wide, easy-to-walk path winds through it, secured in some places by wooden planks or steps or small bridges.
