The Henneberg Museum Kloster Veßra is a 6-hectare open-air museum showcasing the history of the monastery, half-timbered architecture, the everyday history of the people of the Henneberg region, and agricultural technology. The museum grounds and the monastery buildings of the Premonstratensian Order are owned by the Thuringian Palaces and Gardens Foundation. There are the Veßra monastery ruins, the half-timbered houses with buildings from the Henneberg region, the largest collection of East German LPG agricultural machinery in Thuringia, a historic hydroelectric power plant with a mill race, exhibitions on the hard daily lives of the people, and a well-tended garden with herb gardens, flower meadows, and old fruit trees.

A visit that is worth it. It is definitely worth seeing. I am impressed. Respect for how much effort goes into keeping everything in order 👍

Nice place to linger with a good information board about the fieldstone.

An interesting fact is that the uncle of the famous Johann Sebastian Bach was a cantor here and played the organ in the church for many years. "His" organ no longer exists, but his former home still does. There is a memorial plaque there. The church itself is closed and cannot be visited, although many tourist guides rave about its interior.

In Themar, a large part of the city wall has been preserved, and many houses have been integrated directly into it. The city wall parallel to the Werra is particularly impressive, as it is very high here.

The Amtshaus is actually the most impressive and beautiful house in Themar and is built in a typical Henneberg half-timbered style.

There are two benches here - one of them slightly elevated. From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of Themar and the surrounding area. Perfect for a relaxing break.

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.
