At the Triefstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

An old rock from which a spring flows, the Gerastollen.

A great corner to relax.
Seating is available and a spider guides the way.

A trip worth making at any time of the year, especially in combination with a hike around the Ohra Dam.

Gera Tunnel and Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice resting place both for a short drinking break and for a longer rest depending on your taste you sit with a view of the Gera tunnel and in the stream you can refresh yourself on hot days 😉 the place is also great for 🐕🐾 to cool down and drink
