A grassy path with beautiful views of the lake leads along the Sacrificial Moor. With a little luck, you can spot swans, great crested grebes, coots, and, along the shoreline, numerous dragonflies.

Since 1947, peat has been mined in the Rieth between Oberdorla and Niederdorla. Animal bones and shards have been found time and again. However, when a bison skull, a wooden bowl and parts of a wooden idol were discovered in 1957, the staff of the Museum of Prehistory and Early History in Weimar were informed. It soon became clear that these were not the remains of a settlement, but an ancient cult site.

The Popperode spring itself is nothing special. But the Popperode fountain house is a real eye-catcher. Together with the spring, it creates a great ensemble. The way the fountain house presents itself to the street is somewhat reminiscent of a stage. There are a few events a year, such as the fountain festival and the acoustic evening. Of course, you can also get fresh water directly from the spring.

If you have the time, definitely take a look.

There is also a rest area there. There you can take a break and look at the three sequoias.

Access to the outdoor area is possible with a chip. You can get it in the museum on the opposite side in Niederdorla.
