ヒルトブルクハウゼンの天然記念物・トップ20

On the path leading up to Heldburg Fortress in Thuringia, you'll eventually come across a linden tree split in two. A sign is attached to the hollow of this tree, and I'd like to tell you about it now: "Castle Linden of Heldburg Fortress – Large-leaved Summer Linden. Wanderer, pause! Read my story here: In 1791, I was planted by the then Ducal Court Secretary, Johann Daniel Bechmann (1768-1826), from Heldburg. That's why I was also called the Bechmann Linden. Around 1960, lightning destroyed my beautiful crown and split the trunk. Duke George II of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914) and his wife, Baroness von Heldburg (1839-1923), often lingered in the shade of its spreading branches when they resided here at the fortress during the summer months."

Nice idea - almost yoga

With a dominance of almost 20 kilometers and a prominence of almost 300 meters, the Großer Gleichberg is one of the most sublime mountains in Thuringia and for that reason alone it is worth a visit. The surrounding towns are: Zellfeld in the northeast, Roth in the east, Simmershausen and Gleicherwiesen in the southeast, Gleichamberg in the south, Hindfeld and Milz in the southwest, Römhild in the west, and Haina in the northwest

The climb up to the plateau is strenuous, but the view from above makes up for the effort. You can look towards Franconia (Bavaria) or towards Kleiner Gleichberg (Thuringia). This is where the viewpoints get their name from.

According to legend, if you crawl through the stone once, your wish will come true, provided you keep it to yourself. So it's definitely worth it for everyone. You can read the entire legend on the plaque, including a special episode about the former carters. But to read it in full, you have to make the journey here.

has something very sensual about it

This is a special point! Three large river systems meet here. However, this is not unique in Germany. I liked the design of the place.

The Werraquellhütte is a great place to stop! It tastes very good! 👍
