Brewery Inn Papiermühle Jena

Highlight • Restaurant

The Brau-Gasthof Papiermühle is very popular and well-attended. Known far beyond Jena for reliably good cuisine, home-brewed beer, and other specialties. It is also a brilliant starting point for hikes in the surrounding area and a place to reward yourself afterwards. ;-)

Highlight • Bridge

The Kunitz House Bridge, newly built in 2012, is beautifully restored. Inside, there's an information panel about the bridge's history. The square in front of the bridge is a lovely place to take a break.

Johannistor (Jena City Gate)

Highlight • Monument

You could get into the city through three city gates controlled by city guards: the Saaltor in the east, the Johannistor in the west and the Löbdertor in the south. Three corner towers are still preserved today, the names of which indicate their later use or construction: the powder tower in the northwest, i.e. at the highest point of the city fortifications, the anatomy tower in the southwest and the Red Tower in the southeast. Only the foundation of the castle tower at today's university main building can be seen. Saaltor and Löbdertor were demolished in the 19th century. Only the Johannistor has withstood the change of time until today.
