Museum of Tannery and Local History Hirschberg

Highlight • Historical Site

Until the 1990s, the tannery was the main industry in Hirschberg. After the tannery had to declare bankruptcy in 1992, the factory buildings were demolished. The administration building and the archive were, however, taken over by the city together with a number of tools and machines and transformed into a museum. The museum opened in 1997 and in addition to many information on leatherworking, you will also learn a lot about the history of Hirschberg here.

The opening times can be found at museum-hirschberg.de.

Highlight • Structure

Directly at the Saalestau is a small rest area where you can listen to the rush of the water and maybe have a beer roaring :-)

Hirschberg Stag Monument

Highlight • Monument

A hall crossing was certainly the reason for the construction of a castle and thus the prerequisite for the development of the city Hirschberg. From the castle only remains of the tower stump remains. In 1154 Hirschberg was first mentioned in a document (Wikipedia).

March 19, 2024,Thüringen (Thüringer Schiefergebirge): Urwaldpfad Hirschberg; 190324

After the beautiful tour recently in the Plothen pond landscape, I was back in Thuringia today, in Hirschberg. There has recently been a circular hiking trail there under the collective title “Thüringer Urwaldpfade”. Behind this lies a new path concept that clearly shows the gradual conversion of the forest from a plantation economy into a useful and, above all, climate-resistant …

A very nice path, but you should have a head for heights and be sure-footed, it is quite steep at times.
