Highlight • Viewpoint

The path from the Chauseehaus to the Green House is part of the Luther Trail Thuringia. After about 400m from the Chauseehaus you can expect a great view of the Leuchtenburg near Kahla. What an idyll and untouched expanse!

December 25, 2024,2024_12_25 Wanderung um Hummelshain: Jagdschloss_Grünes Haus_Herzogstuhl_Sieben Quellen_Wüste Kirche
It was a great hike, highly recommended.
It was a real alternative to just eating Stollen and sitting in front of the TV. It wasn't strenuous, but the highlights were very entertaining.
The hunting lodge is a real highlight because of its architecture, the beautiful building and the many small and ingenious details. At the moment everything is still being …

Very nice round!
In addition to the well-known excursion destinations - Green House, J. Rieseneck and the now inhabited Herzogstuhl - you can also pass the 7 springs, the ruins of the desert church and the bathing ponds in Würzbach.
A very relaxed round, through a very beautiful, quiet forest.
It's worth! 🥰🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🌲🌞

A varied tour with many highlights through beautiful nature. Although some sections of the trail were again muddy and disheveled due to the timber harvest, that is normal at this time of the year😏. I was impressed by the church ruin with an altar in the middle of the forest. Great!

In the end, the decision fell on Hummelshain and the surrounding area.
I've been everywhere, but not when there was snow.
It was a wonderful little round, listening to the forest and enjoying …

Today's day was blocked with "fun for the grandchildren" 😉🤗 first sledding in the morning and afternoon, games and fun in the house. 😅

But, in the late afternoon, calm settled in and we quickly packed up everything we needed for a night hike. 🤗
The goal was clear...forest and snow ❄️ should be there. 🤩
And so it started …

I've heard and seen a lot of interesting things in the media about the fairytale-like hunting and residential palace in Hummelshain, so I decided to see it in real life. So I put together a tour in Komoot and put it on my hiking boots today🚶🏻. We started in the tranquil residential village of Hummelshain, past the "Old Palace" and …
