    Hiking

    Almost forgotten: Ilmenau was a seaside resort. At the end of the 19th century, the Medical Council Dr. Preller here a cold water sanatorium. Prellerpromenade and some wells and springs are evidence of this time. One of them is the Carl Alexander fountain. Built by Preller in honor of the then ruling prince, Duke Carl Alexander of Saxe-Weimar.

    Founded in 1839 and still ice cold but refreshing 😅.

    Beautiful fountain with refreshing water and a special story, located directly on the bike path through the shady forest.
