A very picturesque old town with historic buildings

Our Heldburg Forestry District comprises 12 forest districts and is also the southernmost forestry district in the Free State of Thuringia. The Heldburg region, the Gleichberge hills, and the castles of Straufhain and Heldburg are attractive destinations for forest visitors. Our district office in Heldburg is also worth seeing – a building steeped in forestry history. Our forestry district is characterized by extensive oak forests in the south – which is why the oak is the "characteristic tree species" of our district. North of the Werra River, for example around Hildburghausen, coniferous pine and spruce forests predominate, while the "Franconian Threshold" south of the Werra is characterized by beech-rich deciduous forests.

The gatehouse dates from 1560 and features a stone rebate for the former portcullis and stone hinges on the outer pointed arch portal. The first floor formerly housed the prison. The second floor was added in the 17th century to contain living quarters and a clock mechanism. The small clock bell is located in the arcaded upper story. The defensive wall runs along both sides of the gate, with a former municipal bakehouse and living quarters built onto the left side. Source: Information panel

Partly completely impassable, impassable stretch. Too many main roads.

A very nice place to rest. A little further up, a little off the path, there's a small chapel.

This new seating area is made of wood, and opposite is a stone seating area. Not to be confused.

Absolutely perfect place to rest right at the start of the hiking trail to Straufhain.

A new seating area has been set up at the foot of the Straufhain, along with a shelter and an information board on the "Historic Straufhain Castle Ruins." A very successful evaluation of the area, thanks to the Friends of Straufhain e.V. Every visitor can enjoy it.
