The Tannburg was a fortification of the knight Hermann Stranz von Döllstädt. Their time of construction, use and destruction is directly related to the Thuringian-Hessian War of Succession (1247–1263). The castle site is now a protected ground monument.

The small Wednesday round took me this time to beautiful Schönau in front of the forest. It went past fields, meadows and also through the forest. You always notice from such small rounds what little treasures are still hidden nearby.
