In the autumn of 1806, world history was made here on these heights northwest of Jena. Directly behind the Landgrave's house lay the Jena-Auerstedt battlefield, the site of the fighting between Prussian troops and Napoleon in October 1806. The Napoleon Stone, which, like the museum in nearby Cospeda, commemorates this event over two hundred years ago, is located here.

Another stop on the Napoleon Trail with a bench at the Napoleon Stone. Here you have a wonderful panoramic view 😎

Ignoring the Prussian ultimatum, Napoleon marched with approximately 160,000 men from Bavaria to Thuringia toward Berlin between October 7 and 13, 1806. On the afternoon of October 13, Napoleon, standing on the Windknollen, spotted the enemy firing positions on the Dornberg and ordered all available troops to take up positions overnight on the Landgrafenberg. The Prussian commanders never expected the French artillery with its heavy cannons to climb the steep mountain.

The Fürstenbrunnen is a spring in the beautiful Pennickental at the foot of the Johannisberge.

The Carolinenturm on the Kötsch is a very popular destination. It is one of the three towers of the Thuringian Three Towers hiking trail and also a stamping point for Touringen (No. 345). From here you have a great view and perspective. The rest areas and benches around the Carolinenturm invite you to linger. Absolutely worth it!👍

A festival for hikers and nature lovers.

Ideal for a bit of climbing, with a view of Lobeda.🤗

The spring shows the water-retaining effect of the clayey myophoric layers (Upper Buntsandstein) present beneath the Muschelkalk. Shell limestone rubble covers the slope and does not reveal any stratification: The periodically pouring spring contains a lot of lime, which has created the extensive freshwater lime deposits below the spring. In recent decades, this lime (lime tuff) has been mined in several quarries. Source: display board
