Path Around the Raths Ponds

Highlight • Trail

There is currently no circular route; you end up in a dead end, with water and moor to the left and right and finally just reeds - see my photos.

Östertor and City Wall Remnants

Highlight • Historical Site

The Östertor is facing east. It is a small, pretty passage through the city wall on the way around the old town. When walking around the old town you will find many remains of the old city wall.

A short Whit Monday hike with dear friends in and around Weißensee. The town had applied to host the Thuringian State Garden Show in 2013, and that's how the Chinese Garden was created. The grounds are truly worth seeing. The town center, with its many historic buildings, completes the picture. The church in the center is the highlight.
