You're used to seeing a summit cross from afar. That's not the case here. A good 10 meters before the cross, you'll hear a surprised "ahh!" But it's definitely a good place to rest! It's nice that there are plenty of rest stops all around.

small but nice. The park is directly behind the theater and fenced off from the main road on two sides. This is a small idyll in the middle of the street madness

The English Garden is a landscape park in the center of the southern Thuringian district town of Meiningen. It is one of the oldest and most worth seeing inner-city landscape parks in Germany. (Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Englischer_Garten_(Meiningen))

The artificial castle ruins once formed the main entrance to the English Garden. From the ruins you have a wonderful view of the pond. The staircase to the bank is, however, terribly littered and overgrown.

The English Garden, the green heart of Meiningen, is an oasis for pedestrians, a place of peace and contemplation. Duke George I had the English Garden designed based on the Wörlitz Park. Artificial ruins and a lake were intended to convey atmosphere. The Johannes Brams Monument in 1899 was the first for the famous composer in Germany.
