      The Candelabrum is located above Altenbergen and offers a beautiful view over the countryside.

        The Candelaber monument is visible from afar on the Johannisberg. It was built at the suggestion of the woodcutter Nicolaus Brückner from Altenbergen in 1811 and is a reminder of the historical significance of the place. The really first church in Thuringia, the Johanniskirche, stood here, which was built by Winfried Bonifatius as early as 724/25. It was a small baptistery, Boniface preached here and converted the Thuringians to the Christian faith.

        From the monument you have a great view of the country, you can linger on the many benches between the meadow flowers and enjoy the view.
