October 31, 2023,Von Wogau zur Kupferplatte – der 2. Abschnitt der SaaleHorizontale (rückwärts)

We were still missing this section on the Saale-Horizontale. We parked at the destination (Jena-Jenertal) and took the bus from the bus station to the starting point in Wogau. Beautiful nature, wonderful views, the Fox Tower and a special mushroom - the earth star - made this stage an experience. :)

September 28, 2023,Saale-Horizontale 2. Etappe Kupferplatte - Fuchsturm - Wogau

Good bye,
This time the starting point was the parking lot at the sports forum. Apparently according to the sign there will be a charge from August, but not (yet) without a ticket machine.🤔 Our troika cheerfully marched to the devil's holes near the Muscle Church. You were then reminded of this during the strenuous climb up to the copper …

January 8, 2022,SaaleHorizontale: Von der Kupferplatte bis Wogau (Etappe 2) 🤩🥰

My BF lives in Erfurt, I studied in Jena - this is how the friends project SH was born.
Parked free of charge opposite the stadium.
1. Highlight: the Fuchslöcher, a geological limestone formation, right at the beginning. The uphill path immediately past was like soft soap in the damp and we were certainly very amusing to watch, but we …

April 21, 2025,Etappe 2: Von Wogau nach Kupferplatte

The second day on the SaaleHorizontale began with stage two in Wogau, and from Kupferplatte, the first stage continued.

The trail is again well signposted, and it's fun to hike through the hilly landscape. The still-green foliage of the beech forests provides shade.

Later, the Fuchsturm tower is conquered and a short rest is taken.

The second stage of the Saale horizontale begins just behind the student slide and leads through a picturesque beech forest to the stone cross. From there, the path opens up over meadows towards Ziegenhain, from where a steep climb must be mastered, which finally leads to the impressive …

Arrival: Train Jena-Göschwitz, then Straba to Jena-Jenertal

Today the route went over the Teufelslöcher in the direction of Kupferplatte. From there it went through Buchenwald to the Steinkreuz, then across meadows downhill into the Ziegenhainer valley, past the village cemetery and uphill again steeply to the Fuchsturm. (But you can also …
