Great fire brigade in town.

Great wooden bridge 🤩. But be careful, it's still busy in places.

The Buchfarter Felsenburg, located on the steep shell limestone slope of the Illm River, is the only structure of its type in Central Germany and of particular cultural and historical significance. It was originally a castle complex belonging to the Counts of Orlamünde. Around the 12th century, 12 chambers of varying sizes were carved into the steep rock face in a row extending approximately 110 meters in length and at a height of 40 meters above the Illm River. The chambers were connected by a Romanesque hillside wall. Some wall remains and a round-arched doorway are still visible today. The rock castle had no military significance in the late Middle Ages. However, it served as a fully developed, impregnable refuge for a long line of counts, dukes, and electors.

Ilm cycle path towards Ziegengraben, very nice to cycle here.

The viaduct has a total length of 201.30 meters, has 13 arches, and is 18 meters high. It was considered one of the largest railway bridges at the time. The keystone was laid on June 28, 1893, in the presence of the Princely Couple of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and other guests of honor.

The Duchess Anna Amalia Library is an important research library on German literature around 1800 and preserves around a million works from the 9th to the 21st century.
