Grill hut at Karsthöhle Dienstedt

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The cave was discovered in 1953, many archaeological finds came to light, which is why the cave was explored until 1957 to 1982. It has been a show cave since 1994 and you can explore 155 meters in it.

Because of these events, Felix Gebser and some other local friends began excavating stonewood between 1953 and 1955; Unfortunately unsuccessful. After further excavations on the Schenkhopfberg, a large cavity was found, but not the cave and the search was resignedly stopped. It was not until the spring of 1957 that another attempt was made. Felix Gebser, Lothar Großkunze, Reinhardt Erdmann, Rüdiger Pöttgen and a few young people were initially there. After the initial success was achieved again, the first two continued digging alone. This time, however, the entrance to the cave was found. After scratch marks left by cave bears were discovered on walls, a close collaboration was established with the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Weimar. The initial enthusiasm was dampened when no archaeologically valuable finds could be made even at a depth of 20 meters. The two local researchers worked for months, alone in their free time and with the simplest tools, into the cave, which was filled almost to the ceiling with material.

It is a Waidmühlstein. Waid was grown and processed in this area of Erfurt. The hut is located on the Waidmühlstein. Highly recommended.

The wooden Bach monument on Espenfelder Strasse near Arnstadt is very badly worn by the weather. On the back of the column there are sound plates with mallets. Here you can get down to work and listen to Bach's masterpiece "The Art of Fugue".

Bismarck monuments (sometimes also called Bismarck columns, Bismarck statues, etc.) were erected in honor of the longstanding Prussian Prime Minister and first German Chancellor, Otto Fürst von Bismarck, in many places in Germany at that time (today partly Denmark, France, Poland and Russia) Colonies as well as established on other continents. The Bismarck monuments were the most visible and permanent expression of Bismarck worship or the Bismarck cult in the Empire. (Source: Wikipedia)
