A building worth seeing and impressive from the outside.

The hunting lodge was built from a former glassworks and was completed in 1595. It initially belonged to the County of Henneberg, and later to the Duke of Saxony-Eisenach. The first residents settled in front of the castle in 1693, and founded the town of Zillbach. The most famous Zillbacher was Heinrich Cotta, who was born in a nearby forester's house and ran a forestry institute in the castle. Cotta is considered the founder of modern forestry science. When we read about things like "forest conversion" today, it is due to his research and teachings. The "coastal forest" did not exist before either. So today's sustainable management of the forests can be traced back to his teachings.

Schwallungen is one of the oldest towns in Thuringia. Even if you can't tell by looking at the town centre, the town has been inhabited since 788. Its name means something like "place of residence of the clan by the surging water". The oldest building still preserved today is next to the church and is the bower from 1537. During the Thirty Years' War, the town was wiped out except for 5 families. During the Peasants' War, the town was even to be burned down entirely, but the punishment could be changed to a fine.

A rather wide farm track - partly asphalted, partly gravelled - leads through the Körnbach valley, but the landscape is incredibly beautiful. The path is often accompanied by cow pastures. What is particularly impressive is that the mountains here are positioned in such a way that the animals communicate with their own echo. A great experience that is crowned halfway with a beautiful shelter. The bridge of the B19 that spans the valley is also impressive.
