    Hiking

    Ferdinand Traugott Flinsch introduced mechanical papermaking in Blankenberg in 1843. Parchment paper and printing paper were still produced in this Thuringian town on the Saale River until 1993. Today, you can learn more about that era in a museum.

    As soon as you cross the bridge over the Saale River, you leave Thuringia and enter Bavaria on the other bank.

    The Saale Bridge near Blankenberg is the border between Thuringia and Bavaria. There is a lot to see in Blankenstein, whether the ruins or the old border strip.
