Cliff face to the Werra valley:
landslides (last on April 3, 1595) created a steep rock face interspersed with mighty crevices, which offers beautiful viewpoints into the Werra Valley and the Thuringian Forest.
From afar you can see the wall of the collapsed mountain to the left of the Werra.
It is southern Thuringia's largest and most beautiful landslide area, which can be reached from Themar on the Werra-Burgen-Steig, past the Gasthof "Waldhof" and the "Dicken Eiche" in about 30 minutes hike (2.3 km).(Source: outdooractive.com)

In 1595, a large rock collapse occurred here, causing the entire mountainside to collapse into the valley! Since then, the gleaming, white limestone marl cliff has reflected the sun. There is only one path down the mountainside. As it is very narrow, a little attention is required here. The path is still quite steep at the top, but is secured with a railing.
It is also worth mentioning that feral goats live here, which can sometimes block your path. This can lead to the odd surprise or chase.
