The Carolinenturm on the Kötsch is a very popular destination. It is one of the three towers of the Thuringian Three Towers hiking trail and also a stamping point for Touringen (No. 345). From here you have a great view and perspective. The rest areas and benches around the Carolinenturm invite you to linger. Absolutely worth it!👍

In December 1846 the railway reached Weimar as the second construction phase of the Thuringian Railway coming from Halle (Saale). In the following years, the extensions towards Eisenach and Bebra went into operation. This was preceded by a state treaty, among other things. between the then Kingdom of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach. Today's neoclassical reception building was built between 1914 and 1922 (with a long interruption in construction during the First World War). Since December 2015, Weimar has been primarily a regional train station. The high-speed line, which opened in 2015, runs past Weimar to the north and west.
