Wooden Forest Spirit Sculpture on Wichmannpromenade

Highlight • Monument

A funny forest spirit now protects the Wichmannpromenade in the south of Eisenach. After the final finishing work, this large wooden figure now welcomes the numerous hikers on the Wichmannpromenade in the Mariental. Last year a larch tree was felled for safety reasons. At that time, the regional forestry administration was already planning to commission the forest worker Uwe Büchner to create a sculpture.
The dedicated forest worker is a virtuoso with the motor chainsaw and is known to many people in the Wartburg region. "I am always amazed at how Uwe, with creativity and precision, creates a living work of art from a seemingly dead piece of wood," says forestry department manager Ansgar Pape, praising his employee the highest notes. There is nothing to add to this verdict except a big thank you to the artist. (…from d.TLZ) 🔝👌🙏

Dragon Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Sturdy shoes are mandatory as it is usually damp and slippery. A walking stick can be helpful.
Very varied gorge. In more difficult places there are also tethers. The narrowest point is about 70 cm wide.
We didn't make the detour to the elf grotto, maybe next time.

Dragon Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

We started early and had the gorge almost to ourselves. An absolute highlight, and not just for children - high rocks, water and plants create a unique backdrop.

Entrance to the Drachenschlucht

Highlight • Gorge

The Dragon Gorge is always great. In winter with the loud rushing water and from spring onwards it is incredibly green.

However, it is also very busy at weekends, so if possible, choose a weekday to visit.
