쉬운 훔멜샤인 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Really interestingly designed and informative

We're familiar with game reserves, hunting lodges with established hunting trails, pig farms, etc., but the Rieseneck hunting ground goes far beyond that: As early as the second half of the 16th century, hunting stands (so-called hunting screens) and walkways (stalking paths) were built here, i.e., paths sunk into the ground so that hunters could move around unnoticed by game. Between 1712 and 1727, these were then rebuilt in stone and partially relocated underground.

The bench is beautiful; the view of the Herzogstuhl is only partially visible because it's obscured by trees; even in winter, it won't be much better. Still, a beautiful spot. 😀

There's also free parking here. A good starting point for tours to Hummelshain Castle or the Rieseneck hunting grounds.

A nice place to rest at the green house.

The half-timbered castle was built in 1917 by Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Altenburg. It served not only as a hunting lodge but is said to have also served as a pleasure palace for his numerous amorous adventures.

Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Saxe-Altenburg built the present-day Old Palace between 1668 and 1670, which gradually developed into a hunting and summer residence. In addition to the high nobility of the time, the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and the German Emperor Wilhelm II also hunted here. The new hunting and residential palace was built between 1880 and 1885 by the Berlin architects Ernst von Ihne and Paul Stegmüller.
