Tips
Who wants to experience the mystical reason, should go to the turning point of my tour. Here it goes down from the comfortable main path, except for the valley. The Freibach meanders through dense trees, ferns and lush vegetation. A small wooden bridge leads over the stream with crystal clear water. There are signs to the mining history of the region. From here, water was passed to the old mines in Ilmenau and the surrounding area. Today, the place is more reminiscent of the scene of free-ball casting in Weber's "Freischütz".
