It goes uphill quite a bit, otherwise a nice tour

Below the steep edge of the cliff, a huge sea of rocks beckons, with large chunks of rock that give little indication of the force that came from the rock fall. A legend that is described in full very close to the former Villa Iltenburg tells of another rock fall in 1137. There is no clear evidence of this, but it seems likely. According to the legend, there was once a place called Dörfles, which was inhabited by gypsies or Wends, who were not tolerated in Themar, but were important during the market or for entertainment. Just as the Veßra monastery was founded, a monk set out to visit them, but they threatened him and chased him away. He cursed the inhabitants and wished that the mountain would fall on them as a punishment from God. Only one 16-year-old girl showed interest in his teachings. He met with her regularly outside of the town. He begged her to leave the place, because after every winter, new cracks appeared in the rock. After two years, it finally happened and the mountain broke off one night. When the residents of Themar left the next morning, the village of Dörfles had disappeared and all the residents had perished.

In 1595, a large rock collapse occurred here, causing the entire mountainside to collapse into the valley! Since then, the gleaming, white limestone marl cliff has reflected the sun. There is only one path down the mountainside. As it is very narrow, a little attention is required here. The path is still quite steep at the top, but is secured with a railing. It is also worth mentioning that feral goats live here, which can sometimes block your path. This can lead to the odd surprise or chase.

The Fallen Mountain near Themar in Thuringia is a unique geological phenomenon located in the southern part of the Thuringian Forest. It is an impressive karst cave that was created due to ground subsidence and geological changes in the landscape. (Source: https://themar.de)

There's no harm in belaying with a rope if you don't want to climb back up on all fours. Don't forget your headlamp!

Beautiful valley near Suhl. Nicely tarred path, forest meadows and cows, as well as streams that round off the feeling.

Dreisbachtal, which meanders 6km to the pond and where deer can be observed in the wild in the morning and evening hours. The Dreisbach, which meanders through meadows and reeds, gave the valley its name. Cows and horses graze here, helping to preserve the meadows with cranesbills and globeflowers.

where does the name come from
