ハルンゲンの湖・トップ17

Buy your entry chip during the day and enjoy it all in the evening

A grassy path with beautiful views of the lake leads along the Sacrificial Moor. With a little luck, you can spot swans, great crested grebes, coots, and, along the shoreline, numerous dragonflies.

Since 1947, peat has been mined in the Rieth between Oberdorla and Niederdorla. Animal bones and shards have been found time and again. However, when a bison skull, a wooden bowl and parts of a wooden idol were discovered in 1957, the staff of the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Weimar were informed. It soon became clear that these were not the remains of a settlement, but an ancient cult site.

Kain jump - legend Two boys were playing with marbles west of the village of Oberdorla. One of them was called Kain. While playing, he threw one of his marbles too far, so that it fell into a hole in the ground between some large stones in a small hollow. Kain tried to move the stones aside to get his marble out. When he finally managed to loosen one of the large chunks, a strong jet of water shot towards him, filling the entire hollow. The other boy called out to him in alarm: "Kain jump - otherwise you will drown!" This incident thus gave the sinkhole spring its name.

If you have the time, definitely take a look.

In the immediate vicinity, a stone from the local history society points to the former village site of Kogen.

Unfortunately, due to extensive renovation work, our local recreation area cannot be reached. However, you can still use the restaurants, which are also very good 👍

It is a very beautiful hiking destination. For beautiful photos, you should definitely take into account the time of day and lighting conditions.
