ウィッツレーベンの天然記念物・トップ20

This location marks the center point of Thuringia. Its precise location was determined using modern surveying techniques, taking into account the state's borders (approximately 50,000 boundary points). The memorial stone was unveiled on August 17, 2008.

Beautiful little section of the cycle path along the limestone cliffs. You feel a bit like you are in Saxon Switzerland. This makes the short route interesting, varied and a real eye-catcher.

That was my starting point for reaching the center of Germany in Niederdorla.

Quote: Ralf, April 13, 2019 (hiking highlight) "This natural monument is considered one of the most botanically valuable meadow areas in all of Thuringia and one of the most important locations for native orchids, especially the wild meadow gladiolus, which is threatened with extinction. From 1945 to 1950, the Soviet Air Force dropped bombs here for training purposes, and the area was a restricted area until 1990." Recently, signs have been put up here again.

Rockhausen is located twelve kilometers northeast of Arnstadt and 10 km south of Erfurt. The village is sheltered between surrounding hills. The geographical center of the state of Thuringia is located in a field on the western edge of the town with the coordinates 50° 54′ 12″ N, 11° 1′ 35″ E. (Wikipedia)

That's something for the eyes and mind

Not known before but found to be important 🚨 and beautiful 😻. 😃✅

Learned something new while cycling on the really well signposted and passable Erfurt 🚲 cycle path ring.
