ハイヘルハイムでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, who enjoyed hunting in the Ettersberg forests, had the hunting lodge built between 1706 and 1712. In 1999, a trail cut through the park 250 years earlier was uncovered. This "trail of time" leads from the castle to the present-day memorial on the grounds of the Buchenwald concentration camp. At this point, a pleasant rest area with a view of the castle is arranged in a star shape, from which hunting trails branched off in all directions even then.

A truly beautiful place to linger and enjoy a small or large picnic with a magnificent view of Ettersburg Castle. 🤗🌞

The area looks very deserted. What a shame about the beautiful building.

In the 🏰 park there is also a small snack bar with delicious 🍦 and ☕️.

Since the first palace and park complexes were built at the beginning of the 18th century, Ettersburg was a popular hunting and summer residence for the ducal family of Saxony-Weimar and Eisenach. Anna Amalia gathered a literary and artistic circle around her here. The extensive landscape park with its gardens and the "Pückler-Schlag" is a gem of garden art.

From here you have a great view of the castle 🏰
