Pond with Lily Pads

Highlight • Lake

A small, tranquil forest pond with water lilies is like a hidden gem amidst the greenery 🌿. Surrounded by tall trees, the light gently reflects off the water's surface, while the water lilies float on it like small, delicate islands.

February 23, 2025,Runde durch das Mühltal von Kursdorf

Beautiful tour through the Mühltal near Kursdorf. In the valley you walk from mill to mill. Unfortunately not all of them are still open. But you can still get food (e.g. a large currywurst in the Meuschkensmühle)😎. The tour is definitely recommended in summer too, but you're certainly not as alone as you are in February 🥾.

September 1, 2024,WarmUp Eisenberger Weihnachtstal 😅

Is it Christmas today? 🤔
No! Not yet...
...but in a good 3 months,
on December 14th and 15th, the Eisenberger Mühltal should once again be transformed into what is probably Germany's longest Christmas market...
What you can expect there:
Lots of nature, lots of nice people and of course plenty of flavored, wine-based hot drinks...
🍷🤪
Today we walked …

A very beautiful hike through the forest along the Mühltal with its many old mills near Eisenberg. We always do the tour in spring and autumn and always look forward to the nice stop at the Naupoldsmühle with the small Milo Barus museum.

The snow trickled quietly during our hike on the Thüringen Weg Mitte Ost ❄️as we walked along the down hill route 🥾I hoped that no MTB would come towards us and that we would fall into the Mühlenbach 🤓at individual mills there were treats and performances 🤶it was a nice day 🌞 thanks for taking it with you 😊

December 15, 2024,Mühltal - Weihnachtstal

Today we finally went to Mühltal to the longest Christmas market. It had been on my plan for a long time, but that's just how it is. First there was Corona, then there was no such spectacle for two years.
