Highlight • Natural Monument

To the Schöne Aussicht Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The restaurant unfortunately closed since August 2018 due to illness. Hopefully, the operator will soon be better again and he can reopen the great refreshment with the beautiful view over the Thuringian basin.

July 6, 2024,Die Grundmühle Umgebung (Stempel 218)

In the early afternoon we set off from Witterda in the beautiful winter weather towards Orphalquelle and Grundmühle. Walking was a bit strenuous in places as there was more snow than expected. It was a great tour, especially the play of light from the sun on the snow left really nice impressions.

On a hill behind Töttelstädt …
