The former open-cast mining area is being reclaimed by nature. You are not allowed to enter – too dangerous – but you can take a look.

It's always nice when a monument reminds you of the old times.

The church stands on the Jakobshügel, probably the oldest settlement area in Weimar. As early as 1168, a pilgrimage church was consecrated at this site, as Weimar was a stop on the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela. The present building is a single-nave Baroque church, built in 1712/13 after the demolition of the dilapidated predecessor. The church tower is accessible. The former watchman's dwelling offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views over Weimar's old town.

Buchenwald Concentration Camp, officially KL Buchenwald, was one of the largest concentration camps on German soil. It operated as a forced labor camp on the Ettersberg hill near Weimar between July 1937 and April 1945. A total of approximately 277,800 people from 50 countries were imprisoned in Buchenwald during this period.[1] The death toll is estimated at around 56,000, including 15,000 Soviet citizens, 7,000 Poles, 6,000 Hungarians, and 3,000 French citizens.[2] As the 3rd US Army approached on April 11, 1945, the prisoners took control of the camp from the retreating SS, arrested 125 of the guards, opened the gates, and raised a white flag.

Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, who enjoyed hunting in the Ettersberg forests, had the hunting lodge built between 1706 and 1712. In 1999, a trail cut through the park 250 years earlier was uncovered. This "trail of time" leads from the castle to the present-day memorial on the grounds of the Buchenwald concentration camp. At this point, a pleasant rest area with a view of the castle is arranged in a star shape, from which hunting trails branched off in all directions even then.

This beautiful villa was once the Hotel Victoria. It was built in 1888. The owner was a merchant named E. Reisen. In 1916, it was officially converted into the Hotel Victoria, along with an annex built in 1850. During the GDR era, it housed the Poliklink Nord (Northern Policlinic). Today, it is a commercial building, including an office of the Debeka insurance company. The building is listed as a cultural monument in Weimar. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl-August-Allee_16
