ハインローデ/ハインライテのおすすめライド

The construction history of the church, which is medieval at its core, is unclear. The church tower and nave were built at different times. The church was remodeled between 1541 and 1577. The nave's current appearance, with its mansard roof and the staircase to the galleries on the south side, was largely acquired in the 18th century. The mansard roof of the nave has a chamfered eaves. The church tower to the west has four stories and features tracery windows from the 15th century in its upper sections. The hall church has a recessed, three-sided chancel. Around 1787, the church underwent extensive renovations. The tower received its bulbous cupola, topped by an open lantern crowned with a finial. The interior of the nave and chancel was unified into a single space by a shared barrel vault. The base of a groin vault remains in the chancel. A simple pulpit dates from 1792. The round-arched opening to the groin-vaulted tower has been bricked up. On the ground floor of the tower are carved figures from a late Gothic winged altarpiece: a bishop, Saint Margaret, Saint John, an unknown saint, Saint Barbara and Saint Bartholomew, as well as three busts of apostles. The organ was built in 1922 by the Petersilie company from Gotha. (Source: Wikipedia)

Old stone signpost!

Straußberg Castle, a 13th-century fortification that has received little attention to date, certainly has a lot to offer, even if spectacular events or significant figures have unfortunately not yet been discovered. Research is still in its infancy. Its location, secluded in the wooded mountains of the Hainleite, also prevents it from becoming a dominant focal point. However, the tranquil idyll and the wide range of recreational activities in the surrounding area make a visit an unforgettable experience for the whole family. For castle enthusiasts, the complex is a gem thanks to its high, unadulterated historical value of its medieval buildings. An association strives to convey not only interesting facts about the castle but also a touch of medieval "romanticism." Find out more on our website, immerse yourself in a distant, yet not-so-distant time, and be a guest at Straußberg Castle! (from the association's website https://www.burg-straussberg.de/)

Unfortunately, this beautiful path towards Breitenworbis is currently closed (July 25, 2024). The diversion is signposted, but has a barrier (!) on the descent and then actually continues on the bypass road that the cycle path should actually avoid. This is only for the fearless!🤯

currently (May 2024) unfortunately closed due to restoration

A wonderful place to rest, it has a slight lake feeling. Coots, mallards, grey herons, swans and many other waterfowl can be found here.

The touring stamp is right on the main road, as entering the castle ruins is prohibited
