ヴァルタースハウゼンの峡谷・トップ20

Parts of the DEFA film “The Cold Heart” were filmed here. If you like the film you should definitely take a look at this place and the great surroundings.

There are old stories about fierce bears in the Thuringian Forest. 🐻

Great fun for all ages. However, the drought this year can be seen everywhere. Still very nice.

After three weeks of hiking in Thuringia, I can say that this is the most beautiful natural spectacle I have seen. Great how the path meanders through the moss-covered rocks of the gorge.

A great trail in untouched nature that invites you to go hiking and biking.

In 1832 the Drachenschlucht was opened to the public. Oberforsrat Gottlob König managed this work. He received financial support from Maria Pavlovna - Grand Duchess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. (...the Mariental was named after her, (and her sister Anna) ...the Annatal got its name from her. A capital "A" carved into the rock indicates this. (...from information board)
