Dragon Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

After three weeks of hiking in Thuringia, I can say that this is the most beautiful natural spectacle I have seen. Great how the path meanders through the moss-covered rocks of the gorge.

Dragon Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

We started early and had the gorge almost to ourselves. An absolute highlight, and not just for children - high rocks, water and plants create a unique backdrop.

Entrance to the Drachenschlucht

Highlight • Gorge

The Dragon Gorge is always great. In winter with the loud rushing water and from spring onwards it is incredibly green.

However, it is also very busy at weekends, so if possible, choose a weekday to visit.

Unfortunately, Komoot gave up on the trail. We continued to the foot of the Wartburg Castle and then took a short walk to Eisenach.

Today I fulfilled a wish of a dear friend: Walk through the Drachenschlucht and up to the Wartburg.
Eisenach - I'm there and off we went. slouch and gossip.
It was a wonderful trip and the ticks also migrated with us.
I immediately collected several representatives of this species 🙈

Our second tour this weekend was to go to the famous Drachenschlucht.
We started at the parking lot of the Phantasie restaurant in Mariental. First we hiked through the Landgrafenschlucht.
The 2.5 kilometer long gorge is beautiful, with numerous wooden walkways and bridges and is wildly romantic.
From there we go via the Wolfslöcher to the Großer Drachenstein.
From the …

The last lap of this vacation. After finding a spot in the second parking lot and having the usual parking ticket machine fun (at least: different, but just as unintuitive, operation as the other machines. And: I was able to watch in peace how others were making fools of themselves in front of me, so I was spared the same), …

Today, with mixed weather and the motto "in the sun 🌞," everyone can visit the old Wartburg Castle. We also visited the Drachenschlucht and the Landgrafenschlucht again. A delight as always. Sometimes rain ☔️, sometimes sunshine 🌞, another lovely tour with my brother-in-law.

Oh wonder... A hiking day with Bine, the bus and train on time without a hitch. Today we're working on Touringen, and Eisenach has some beautifully situated stamping stations in the area. The three-seater bus takes us up to Wartburg Castle. Here our tour begins towards the Drachenschlucht (Dragon Gorge). This romantic canyon, where a wild stream rushes beneath gratings, …

We had been planning today's tour for a while, the date had been set for a while, but unfortunately the other hikers had to cancel at short notice. So the two of us set off on the tour on Sunday morning at the Hohe Sonne above Eisenach.
First we went along the wine route to the large Drachenstein. At the …
