クイルラ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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

The ruins of Lobdeburg Castle are among the most impressive and best-preserved Romanesque secular buildings in Thuringia. They are also among the most important cultural monuments in the territory of the independent city of Jena and represent an important local recreation destination for the people of the surrounding area.

There is very good food, a little higher priced, but worth the money. Since it is only open from Friday to Sunday, you should make a reservation.

Very nice hiking area and several places to stop for refreshments.

Beautiful hiking and cycling route, there are interesting things to discover in every season ☺️

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

Lobdeburg was first mentioned in 1166. The castle was most likely built by the Lords of Auhausen, appointed by the emperor as ministerials, who named the castle after the town of Lobeda. One reason for this was probably the good experiences that the emperor had already had with other ministerials in the area who belonged to the family group. Shortly afterwards, the branch of the family that lived here called itself “von Lobedeburg”. The construction of the castle was completed in 1185. As a result of the Vogtland War of 1354–57, the imperial rule of the Lobdeburgers came under the suzerainty of the Wettins in 1358. In 1450, Duke Wilhelm of Saxony conquered the castle in the Saxon Civil War. The Puster family owned the castle until 1591. The complex then began to fall into disrepair and the stones were used, among other things, to build the Saale Bridge near Burgau. Source: Wikipedia
