    Nordic walking

    The landmark of Plothen is the approximately 300 year old stilt house in the house pond, the largest of the Plothen ponds with 28 hectares. It is unique in its construction in Thuringia. It has been extensively renovated in recent years, and today it houses a small museum.

    The stilt house is usually open from 1pm to 5pm on Sundays and public holidays from May to October. From October also on Saturdays. However, it is temporarily closed due to Corona regulations.

    Mountain biking

    This bike tour is easy to do. It's a beautiful nature reserve with an attractive stilt house. Along the route, you'll find a campsite with a beer garden at the Waldschänke. At Ritter Knau, you can enjoy a delicious homemade cake. It was a very relaxing bike tour.
