グロースブライテンバッハの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

The simple late baroque functional building was hastily erected in the summer of 1783 to serve as a guest house for Karl August and his hunting party. Building materials were obtained from the ruins of Ilmenau Castle and the surrounding forest. Goethe often spent time here as a guest. The museum's exhibition is well worth seeing because it offers insights into the hunting habits and social life of the Weimar court.

This is a special point! Three large river systems meet here. However, this is not unique in Germany. I liked the design of the place.

The Werraquelle is a top excursion destination in the Thuringian Forest, a beautiful restaurant with a large terrace and there is also a petting zoo for children

You simply have to visit the Werraquelle once. Super seating with good food, drinks are of course also available. Centrally located and easily accessible, there is a lot to see there. It's really worth it.

You always get a cool drink and something to eat in a very nice environment. In addition, the hut built in the South Tyrolean style, very nice.

At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source: To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain: "There's certainly a lot of beauty in it, on the element, the wet. Because you can drink the water. But you can leave it alone." (H.Erhardt)

Nice destination 💚🦊
