Tannroda Castle

Highlight • Castle

Tannroda is located in the Middle Ilmtal at the confluence of the Schwarza and Ilm and today belongs to the town of Bad Berka. The well-preserved and now renovated keep with the castle ruins, the palace and St. Michael's Church greet you from afar - the landmarks of then and now.
In August 2016, the Bähr family from Hanover fell in love with the small, dilapidated castle complex in Tannroda during a visit to Thuringia. She decided to set up a charitable foundation to buy, renovate and sustainably revitalize the idyllically situated historic walls. A usage concept was developed that is intended to offer both locals and guests from near and far the opportunity to participate in the cultural monument.
It is amazing what has been preserved and renewed at the castle (Blue Castle) since then.
Many thanks to the Bähr family

It's a good thing this section isn't paved, so the beautiful scenery isn't lost. Occasionally, a tree will be across the path; watch out for this, especially at night, and drive carefully.

Cycle path bypass Tiefengruben

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice bike path with nice asphalt. If you want to drive fast, it is better to take this path instead of driving through Tiefengruben, because there you will find cobblestones.
