Franzosenkreuz Memorial Cross

Highlight • Monument

Laasan, beyond Jena, is said to be the forgotten village. But that's not true. Napoleon's troops plundered Laasan just as much.

Charcoal Kilns in Alt Meusebach

Highlight • Structure

A picturesque valley that ends in a small village – former charcoal kilns can be visited, and donkeys might stumble over your feet. The cute little houses are well worth a look!
