    There you decide how to proceed. You can continue in the direction of Veste Heldburg, to the Schnepfenbrunnen, to Lindenau or over the Drei Eichen in the direction of Billmuthausen and on to Bad Colberg or Gauerstadt and Bad Rodach. All paths are open to you ✌🏻👍🏻.

    Brand new refuge here at Pfaffenholz, ideal for resting. The Pfaffenholz between Heldburg and Bad Colberg was a favorite hunting area of the then Duke Johann Casimir of Saxe-Coburg (1586-1633) at the end of the 16th century. He shared his passion for hunting with numerous rulers of neighboring territorial lords, whom he often invited to his territory. During his reign, the Heldburg fortress took on the character of a hunting lodge, to which his successor, Ernst the Pious of Saxe-Gotha (1644-1675), also contributed. Around 1680, more than four hundred deer antlers adorned the rooms of the Veste Heldburg.
