Very nice signpost with rest area.

is significant for Meiningen...

small but nice. The park is directly behind the theater and fenced off from the main road on two sides. This is a small idyll in the middle of the street madness

The English Garden is a landscape park in the center of the southern Thuringian district town of Meiningen. It is one of the oldest and most worth seeing inner-city landscape parks in Germany. (Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Englischer_Garten_(Meiningen))

Everything suggests that the old and early, arduous ascents of the high-altitude trails from the Werra Valley ended here; oxen, mules and horses were changed here before heading back downhill to Suhl and then conquering the Rennsteig via the Suhler Leube. For the descent of the further route to Suhl, the long ridge of the Steingebössel and then the Friedberg were used to reach the Haselfurt on the Kunigundenhügel. On the Pfütschberg, it came across a field site called "Eiserne Hand" for the second time, where farm buildings belonging to Neundorf farmers stood until the first half of the 20th century.

The Iron Hand near Altendammbach Near the Altendambacher Höhe, where the country road, forest and hiking trails meet, hikers or mountain bikers on their way towards Fischbach-Schleusingen pass a multi-armed signpost on which a hand cast from iron points to the sky on a narrow concrete base. Another signpost? A monument? There is hardly a long-time resident in the surrounding villages who does not know the "Iron Hand" and the forest area up there that is called that and has certainly heard some stories about it; but no one can really explain what this mysterious place and its not exactly everyday feature is all about. - And so there are always inquiries about it.

The artificial castle ruins once formed the main entrance to the English Garden. From the ruins you have a wonderful view of the pond. The staircase to the bank is, however, terribly littered and overgrown.

Great view of the flight school at the Dolmar pilot project.
