Highlight • Trail

The Luther Trail in Thuringia is a hiking trail that u. a. leads from the Wartburg over Möhra, Glasbachgrund, Schmalkalden, Tambach-Dietharz, Reinhardsbrunn, Waltershausen and Gotha to Arnstadt through the Thuringian Forest.
The branch to Gera and Altenburg has connections to Borna, Gnandstein and Zwickau to the Lutherweg in Saxony or to Zeitz to the Lutherweg in Saxony-Anhalt.
The branch via Nordhausen also leads via Stolberg (Harz) to the Lutherweg in Saxony-Anhalt.
At the Wartburg near Eisenach, the Lutherweg in Thuringia is connected to Lutherweg 1521 towards Worms.
The path is marked with a green "L" on a white square.
The 150-kilometer-long hiking trail was created and signposted in 1937 on the 400th anniversary of the Schmalkaldic Prince's Day, in which Martin Luther had participated.
On August 12, 2012, the last 18 km section between Gotha / Seeberg and Holzhausen was opened.
In the meantime, the Luther Trail in Thuringia has been extended to approx. 1000 km.

Schönbrunn Dam

Highlight • Monument

The dam itself is not that spectacular. If you first walk up to the dam wall and then to the bridge, you have to watch your circulation. The sudden difference in altitude and the valley basin bothered me at least.

Schönbrunn Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

A drinking water dam environment of unique nature in a picturesque landscape. Fantastically accessible, but also some hidden viewpoints invite you to linger, relax and dream. The approx. 15 km circular route can be supplemented with various additional highlights and hike longer and further.
