Ein 🐟 namens Wander

Hiking

In the meantime, the rumor had spread to exams in all of the fields of study represented in Jena, especially among medical students, that the physics would not be passed if you had previously gone through the Johannistor.
We don't know where the myth came from, but many students still believe it today.

Part of the old city wall of Jena with the powder tower and the only preserved city gate Johannestor.
From time to time there are markets here, e.g. the historic Christmas market.
Otherwise you can sit and rest here
