Naturally, the Heldburg is clearly visible from many perspectives, similar to the Gleichberge.

Heldburg is a town in the Hildburghausen district in the extreme south of Thuringia. Heldburg is located in the center of the Heldburger Land, is the administrative seat of the administrative community Heldburger Unterland and has almost 3500 inhabitants, of which approx. 1000 are in the Heldburg district. Above the city is the Veste Heldburg with the German Castle Museum, which opened in 2016.

View of Straufhain Castle Ruins

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

very nice bike path in my opinion - right through the fields and meadows. Away from the road and the traffic, which I don't really like here anyway.
Again and again great views of the Heldburg, the Straufhain castle ruins (is that what it is called?) And the Gleichberge are already visible from afar.
Cyclist heart, what more do you want?

Thousand-year-old Holm Oak

Highlight • Natural Monument

The wonderful old oak was drawn into passion by the storm Ignatz. At least she's still standing. ☺️You shouldn't actually go up to the tree unless you dare to read the interesting sign with the explanations.

Stork nest on the chimney in Bad Rodach

Highlight • Structure

For a long time, Master Adebar was considered a harbinger of spring. When he returned after the winter, people knew that the cold and snow were over. But since more and more storks are no longer flying south over the winter - in the Coburg region, eight forego the strenuous flight - the sight of a stork is no longer a reliable herald of the milder season. And now storks are also returning from warmer climes earlier and earlier. The resident stork was spotted on her nest in Thermalbadstrasse in Bad Rodach in the middle of last week, as stork representative Hans Schönecker reported, referring to the ring number DER AJ032. She was also already stalking through the Rodach meadows in search of food. This makes her the first returnee in the Coburg region. A year ago, she was also the first to return home - she moved back into her quarters on February 1st.
