Leaning Tower of the Oberkirche, Bad Frankenhausen

Highlight • Monument

With an overhang of 4.6 meters, it is even one meter more inclined than the Leaning Tower in Pisa. Hard to believe! Looks crazy when you stand in front of it.

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Probably the most beautiful section of the Bahntrassenradweg Sondershausen Artern. This great bike path meanders parallel to the Solgraben through the wet meadow area.
