The Ars Natura artwork stands at the parking lot of the same name (Hand). Its name probably comes from the many paths that converge here in a star shape.

Very beautiful crossing in the Hainich Forest. If you drive along the Rennstieg in the Hainich you should take a short break here for a rest.

I have driven past the Betteleiche several times. By chance, because I took a different route, I came across this hut. It's nice and big and has room for lots of guests. There's even a toilet house right next to it. You don't see something like that very often.
