If you're hiking the Thiemsburg circular trail, we recommend this short but worthwhile detour to the Düsteröder Pond. It's an idyllic spot for a break, and the pond is home to numerous amphibians for observation.

This station, like many others, is located directly at Thiemsburg Castle. All along the path around Thiemsburg Castle, there are information boards and puzzles about the flora and fauna.

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.
