From up here you have a fantastic view of Jena and the other mountains in the area! The trail itself is great fun to walk.

The SaaleHorizontale is a hiking trail that lives up to its name. It was rightly voted Germany's most beautiful hiking trail in 2023. A wonderful walk with stunning views and highlights. At times, you won't even notice how close you are to the city. A must-do hike!

In the autumn of 1806, world history was made here on these heights northwest of Jena. Directly behind the Landgrave's house lay the Jena-Auerstedt battlefield, the site of the fighting between Prussian troops and Napoleon in October 1806. The Napoleon Stone, which, like the museum in nearby Cospeda, commemorates this event over two hundred years ago, is located here.

Another stop on the Napoleon Trail with a bench at the Napoleon Stone. Here you have a wonderful panoramic view 😎

Ignoring the Prussian ultimatum, Napoleon marched with approximately 160,000 men from Bavaria to Thuringia toward Berlin between October 7 and 13, 1806. On the afternoon of October 13, Napoleon, standing on the Windknollen, spotted the enemy firing positions on the Dornberg and ordered all available troops to take up positions overnight on the Landgrafenberg. The Prussian commanders never expected the French artillery with its heavy cannons to climb the steep mountain.

Shrine of the Association of Thuringian Mountain, Castle, and Forest Communities: Up there near the Fuchsturm Tower is the end point of the Geological Nature Trail. The shrine, consisting of 32 stone monuments, was erected in 1936 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Fuchsturm Society and the 14th Federal Festival of Thuringian Mountain, Castle, and Forest Communities. It also offers a unique geological overview of the rock types primarily found in Thuringia, representing the periods of past geological eras.

The Fürstenbrunnen is a spring in the beautiful Pennickental at the foot of the Johannisberge.

Most beautiful hiking trail in Germany, 2023. Rightly so.🫶
