キリアンシュローダでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The mill shop is highly recommended. It's open Friday through Sunday. A visit is a must! Thuringian sheet cakes, freshly brewed beer, eggnog and jams from Grandma, onion cake, and... ...all in a truly rustic atmosphere!

Beautiful beer garden in a good location. Hiking parking right next door. Delicious food. 👍

Great wooden bridge 🤩. But be careful, it's still busy in places.

A real insider tip in the Ilm Valley: The mill shop with its traditional German bakery offers fresh bread and rolls on Fridays, and seasonal sheet cakes on weekends. Hot and cold drinks and a small selection of food are also available. The flour for baking is produced directly in the watermill – and you'll find many special regional products in the shop.

A superb vantage point with a stamping station, a stone platform, and plenty of seating. The Kötsch and the surrounding forests can be visited at any time of year. At night, it's a great place for stargazing. If the visibility is clear, you can even make out the villages and towns beyond the Ettersberg.

Nice and cozy little shop.

Here, children of all ages can be creative.
