Beautifully located, but currently being renovated. It will definitely be great again when it opens again. A nice bathroom actually.

Source of the Ilm River

Highlight • River

The Ilm, the starting point of the Ilm Cycle Path, is formed by the confluence of the source rivers Lengwitz, Taubach and Freibach. You have to walk down a bit from the bike path to see this.

Beautiful landscape that extends in the Freibachtal, for example when you come from the forests of the foothills of the large Finsterberg. Beautiful mountain meadows with livestock and small streams create a beautiful atmosphere.
