The scooter route, a beautiful bike path above the Lubenbachtal, connects Zella-Mehlis and the Oberhof train station.

The beautiful train station in the Laubenbachtal is unfortunately decaying and is sleeping like Sleeping Beauty.
It was built in 1884 and rebuilt and expanded in 1910/11.
There has been no stopping at the station since 2017.

Pfanntal Pond

Highlight • Lake

A bit disappointed at first because smaller than expected. But absolutely idyllic, with a fascinating color of the water.🤩 Beautifully different in every season and therefore also a great photo opportunity.

Drop Forge Zella-Mehlis Technical Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

An interesting technical museum all about the creation of forged workpieces. The tools and machines are worth seeing for young and old.
There is also a Kneipp facility outside. Here you can refresh yourself before the ascent towards Oberhof. 😉
