Dinosaur Discovery Trail (Naturpark Thüringer Wald)

Highlight • Trail

On the adventure trail you will find 17 dinosaur figures. Some of them are a bit scary - like the Keuper Tyrannosaurus, an ancestor of Tyrannosaurus rex - but fortunately all of them are completely harmless.

November 1, 2024,Sauriererlebnispfad ab Georgenthal--Tambach Dietharz (Touringen Stempel 312, 313, 314)
We start from Georgenthal at the castle cafe on the dinosaur adventure trail.
We then meet our first dinosaur, Emausaurus ernsti, at the edge of the forest to the left of the road uphill. Here we go along a great forest path.
A few dinosaurs are besieging the path. The first Touringen stamp box is also on the right, guarded …

The return journey to and from Georgenthal is only possible by bus.

The trail is interestingly designed. Several finds from the region can also be seen along the trail. There is a lot of background information about the different eras and the animals involved. This makes it interesting not only for children but also for adults.

"Dinosaur Adventure Trail"/ Georgenthal > Tambach-Dietharz 🌲Thuringian Forest🌲

------------------------------

- some dinosaur models are currently missing on the adventure trail due to repair work.

- From Rodebachmühle to Georgenthal, the cycle path is recommended as an alternative because of tree felling.

A very nice hike. Also suitable for children, as it passes two ice cream parlors. The one in Georgenthal is highly recommended.

Spontaneously visited the past!
The dinosaur trail was very well done!
The hike was ideal with sunshine...
Brief confusion about the route because forestry vehicles had recreated the path, changed my mind quickly! A few extra meters in altitude 🤭
It's a good walk and luckily the frozen ground (forestry vehicles) have shaped the paths a bit again...
Should have …

Visit to the excavation site at Bromacker. The same prehistoric dinosaurs were found here as in the USA.
Many summers an American came here to take part in the excavations.
