Anger Square, Bad Frankenhausen

Highlight • Settlement

Here on the Anger there are some hotels, ice cream parlors and also benches to sit on, but it is very stone-heavy. It's a matter of taste, but I would have liked a little more green.

Cherries and mirabelle plums in abundance, and to top it all off, a Thuringian plum at Heldrungen train station. It was gone so quickly, hence no picture 😁😋. Definitely a must-see 😊
