A good snack bar with delicious bratwurst and very friendly staff.

The Märzenbechertal (Snowflake Valley) lies southwest of the village of Landgrafroda in the Ziegelroda Forest. It is a narrow valley whose slopes are covered with beech and oak trees. Here, the spring snowflake (Leucojum vernum), also known as the snowflake, has become widespread and, during its flowering season between late February and early April, creates a unique spectacle. A carpet of millions of white blossoms of this protected plant attracts numerous visitors from near and far to the Märzenbechertal every year. Designated a protected natural monument since 1989, it is a must-see for every nature lover! (https://www.querfurt.de/seite/328990/m%C3%A4rzenbechertal.html)

The defensive tower of the mighty Querfurt Castle, whether it will ever be made accessible, 😎 would be.

The western gate of Querfurt Castle, built in 1385 and reinforced and expanded in 1479, is exceptional for its massive fortifications. This fortification alone is roughly the size of the Wartburg Castle near Eisenach. The Wartburg Castle would fit into Querfurt Castle seven times over. The "Crucifixion Group" had been mounted above the western gate since the end of the 15th century. The heavily weathered relief was later recovered and can now be admired in the castle's lapidarium. The relief that can be seen today above the gate is a faithful copy, ceremoniously presented by the Querfurt Antiquities and Tourist Association on June 6, 2009.

The Romanesque castle chapel, dedicated to "Our Lady of Querfurt Castle," was a collegiate church. From 1323 onward, the Counts of Querfurt were buried here. The church, built in 1162 in a cruciform shape, stands on the foundations of an even older church. Its architecture is reminiscent of similar buildings in southeastern Europe. From 1698 to 1716, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Querfurt castle chapel, which had been closed for 20 years during the GDR era, was reopened to the public in 1992.

The Fat Henry, a round tower from the 12th century, is the keep of Querfurt Castle and the only Romanesque tower in this castle complex. It has no windows, no chimney, and no lavatory. The Fat Henry is 27.50 meters high, with a diameter of 14 meters at the base. The wall here is 4.35 meters thick. The rampart at its top, with its loopholes, was added in the 15th century. Beneath the present keep is a building that was probably built around the year 1000.

Look at the country or the surrounding towns.

The Märzenbechertal in Landgrafroda is a feast for the eyes and beautiful to look at.
