Hiking

Schwallungen is one of the oldest towns in Thuringia. Even if you can't tell by looking at the town centre, the town has been inhabited since 788. Its name means something like "place of residence of the clan by the surging water". The oldest building still preserved today is next to the church and is the bower from 1537. During the Thirty Years' War, the town was wiped out except for 5 families. During the Peasants' War, the town was even to be burned down entirely, but the punishment could be changed to a fine.
