A grassy path with beautiful views of the lake leads along the Sacrificial Moor. With a little luck, you can spot swans, great crested grebes, coots, and, along the shoreline, numerous dragonflies.

Since 1947, peat has been mined in the Rieth between Oberdorla and Niederdorla. Animal bones and shards have been found time and again. However, when a bison skull, a wooden bowl and parts of a wooden idol were discovered in 1957, the staff of the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Weimar were informed. It soon became clear that these were not the remains of a settlement, but an ancient cult site.

Great thing, the fish are happy.

If you have the time, definitely take a look.

Where the lake is today, there used to be a Germanic sacrificial bog. This was discovered during peat mining in the 1950s. Research excavations took place between 1957 and 1964. It is a sacrificial site of Germania libera, non-Roman Germania; around 80 sanctuaries were documented, dating from the early Iron Age (7th/6th century BC) to the early Middle Ages. The most recent ceramic finds prove that the site was used until the 10th century. Several settlements were located around the sanctuary.

One of the last remaining village gates in Thuringia is the Fickentor.
