A dream, the gardens, terraces and of course the playful Rococo palace make the visit an experience.

Also called Thuringian Balcony, highly recommended here.

The following legend has been told in the community of Hainspitz for several generations: The Mist Woman of Hainspitz From time to time, especially in autumn and during foggy weather, one sees a misty female figure floating from the Hainspitz Pond to the cornerstone at the former knight's estate. This is the ghost of an unfortunate knight's daughter, who is said to have once drowned in the pond and has not found peace to this day. Long ago, a hard-hearted knight, his wife, and his sensitive daughter lived in the old moated castle in Hainspitz. The daughter was a beautiful girl. The knight had promised her to a drinking companion. But he was already somewhat older and the girls did not like him at all. The knight kept a strict eye on his daughter. She was not allowed to leave the castle and could only walk within the walls. As she was once again strolling through the castle and looking longingly over the rampart, she suddenly heard the sound of a harp. The knight's daughter saw a handsome young man standing there, who greeted her warmly and continued to play his harp. From that day on, the girl and the harpist saw each other more often and grew increasingly fond of each other. But they couldn't get together. One day, after the old knight had left the castle, the girl managed to get the keys to the drawbridge. She quickly lowered the bridge, and a few moments later, the girl and the harpist were in each other's arms. From then on, the knight's daughter took every opportunity to secretly meet her lover. It wasn't long, however, before the old knight learned of their secret affair and surprised them both. From that day on, the girl was never allowed outside, so that she was even denied a view of the castle ramparts. Then she fell into a melancholy mood. But the old knight soon ordered the wedding with the groom he had chosen. On the eve of the wedding, the old knight threw a wild feast with the groom, whom his daughter disliked. Late that night, when all the knights were drunk, the girl fled the castle. Since she absolutely did not want to become the wife of her father's drinking companion and knew no way out, she threw herself into the pond in despair. There, the unfortunate girl is sometimes seen as a ghost to this day. after: The Witch's Taler - Legends and Selected Events from the Saale-Holzland District; Jenzig Publishing

Great hiking valley with many highlights and beautiful nature

Right on the lake is an ice cream parlor and the lakeside restaurant where you can eat well

Very nice, well-kept grounds and completely different stem styles.

Idyllic path from Stadtroda to Hermsdorf, less crowded than the Mühltal. If you don't want to walk the whole way, you can use the Papiermühle station on the RB 21 of the Erfurter Bahn.

Idyllic lake for a little rest.
