Prinzenteich, Eisenach

Highlight • Lake

Beautifully situated pond at the foot of the Wartburg in Eisenach, highly recommended in summer, directly with a pond café.

Tip by

435 m

Below the Wartburg is one of the largest contiguous residential areas in Germany, and up the mountains, impressive buildings from different building eras line the streets and paths. The city offers extra villa tours, but you can just go ahead and be inspired by these extraordinary architectural achievements!

Ludwigsklamm and Ludwig Grotto Waterfall

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The idyllic Ludwigsklamm gorge lies within a protected landscape area in the Johannistal valley. The gorge is more familiar to locals and therefore considerably quieter than the Drachenschlucht and Landgrafenschlucht gorges. Moss-covered rocks flank the path. A small trail leads down to a cave-like widening of the rock formations with a small waterfall, known as the "Ludwigsgrotte" (Ludwig's Grotto).

Ludwigsklamm Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The highlight of the path, about halfway up the Ludwigsklamm, is particularly beautiful to see in winter when the waterfall freezes.

Very nice short ridge path with a great view on one side of the Wartburg and Eisenach - at your feet and on the other side of the mountain hotel with the fraternity monument.
