A detour from the circular trail to the ancient and mighty Hutebuche is worthwhile. Hudewälder (forests), also called Hutewald (forests), are an ancient form of forest management in which livestock were driven into the forest for grazing ("hutting"). The pigs and cattle ate beechnuts, acorns, and herbs, thus preventing natural forest regeneration. Only a few, now very old and mighty trees with spreading crowns remained standing. However, another traditional farming forest use, the "Krattwald" (forest), seems to have led to the emergence of this Hutebuche. According to this, it was "cut back to the stump" every 15 to 20 years, resulting in increasingly voluminous new shoots. The harvest had a variety of uses: the bark was used for tanning, the wood as building material and fuel, and the leaves as fodder and bedding for livestock. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutebaum

The current church was built between 1875 and 1879 in the center of the old town on the foundations of a previous building. Between 1974 and 1977, it was extensively remodeled with funding from one of the GDR's church building programs, at a cost of 480,000 Deutschmarks. It is a cruciform church (architecture) according to the building standards of the Eisenach regulations.
