Great privately maintained facility (approx. 80 varieties of water lilies) with a resting area. A visit on sunny days around lunchtime is worthwhile.

Yes, unfortunately, the beer garden was no longer open in 2024. A gem along the bike path that is sorely missed.

Located in the idyllic valley on County Road 84, there are around 100 different varieties of hardy water lilies.

The beer garden seems to have been closed for a while. Too bad, I had to leave without stopping.

Schwallungen is one of the oldest towns in Thuringia. Even if you can't tell by looking at the town centre, the town has been inhabited since 788. Its name means something like "place of residence of the clan by the surging water". The oldest building still preserved today is next to the church and is the bower from 1537. During the Thirty Years' War, the town was wiped out except for 5 families. During the Peasants' War, the town was even to be burned down entirely, but the punishment could be changed to a fine.
