Nice hiking trail on the way up to the Leuchtenburg. The small detour is worthwhile, you get close to the vineyard and learn everything about wine production from the information boards. A little Moselle or Saale-Unstrut near Jena.

Currently, these are brought up with the shuttle bus. I walked up to Pfaffenberg. Here you have a great view of Seitenroda. The Panoramatrail around the castle …
