    Shortly before Stuetzerbach you will find a fairy-tale gorge, which gained notoriety through Goethe's poem "Ilmenau". In 1783 a large, nocturnal hunting camp took place here. Today there is a wooden bridge over a small waterfall. Standing there and looking up, you can almost see trolls and goblins romping among the mossy rocks. Goethe's handwritten poem can be admired in the Goethe Museum in Stutzerbach.

      The Finstere Loch is a densely wooded rocky gorge with a small waterfall in the upper part of the Schortetal in the Thuringian Forest. It is located about 1.5 km southeast of Stützerbach in the Ilm district, and the Goethe hiking trail Ilmenau-Stützerbach passes by.
