Memorial stone

It is actually very interesting that the Orla flows (very little) from several sources.

Walk around this stone 3 times...and you will live to be 100 years old

really very interestingly designed

At the edge of the forest after the Teufelstalbrücke, a small climb leads over a wooden bridge to the "Century Stone". According to legend, anyone who circles this stone three times will live to be over 100 years old 😉.

The Orla rises in two source areas between the towns of Triptis, Braunsdorf and Gütterlitz. The small river has a length of 35 km and is initially dammed in the Triptis dam. The river initially flows about 20 km westward from its sources. It flows through the town of Neustadt an der Orla in the area of the upper Orlasenke after about 12 km. The river turns north at Pößneck and flows into the Saale after a further 15 km at Orlamünde. Due to the fairly large catchment area of the Orla, the city of Triptis has repeatedly been flooded in the past. The last flood was in the summer of 1975. As a result, the Triptis dam was built between 1977 and 1980, which is also a local recreation area. Wild swans, ducks and coots now live on and around the dam. The footpath laid out on the crest of the dam initially ran around the entire dam, but today the path on the north side of the dam only leads to the upstream dam. However, the nature around the dam has developed into a true biotope in recent years. We hereby cordially invite you to discover the flora and fauna around the dam.

A beautiful forest pond with a rest stop

The stone was lovingly restored this year and a bench invites you to linger. In the Teufelstal there is now also an information board. The ascent is easy and short.
