We started early and had the gorge almost to ourselves. An absolute highlight, and not just for children - high rocks, water and plants create a unique backdrop.

Always beautiful.

At its narrowest point, the Drachenschlucht is only 68 cm wide. So nothing for larger dragons. Anyone who knows one is welcome to try it.

But for baby dragons a real experience and a little adventure.

The Drachenschlucht is a gorge near Eisenach in the Thuringian Forest in the nature reserve "Forests with Gorges between Wartburg and Hohe Sonne".

The gorge is located in the south of Eisenach, between the southern outskirts (Hotel Sophienaue) and the forest town of Hohe Sonne am Rennsteig. There is the Annatal, the southern end of the Mariental. The Drachenschlucht, together with the neighboring Landgrafenschlucht and the Ludwigsklamm rising from the Johannistal, are popular hiking destinations, especially in the summer months. The southern access is at the Hohe Sonne, the northern access is at the driveway to the Waldhaus Sängerwiese. The entire route of the B 19 from Eisenach in the direction of Gumpelstadt and Meiningen runs parallel to the gorge. There are parking spaces for hikers at both main entrances. For safety reasons, additional paths have been created to enable the gorge to be left quickly in the event of a storm or an accident.
