Kunitzburg Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Beautiful castle ruins with a wonderful view. There are various hiking trails to the Kunitzburg. It is recommended to just walk along the horseshoe, then you come to the beautiful Jenzig.

Jenzig Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The ridge path is also wonderful from the view. However, you should be a bit careful with the bike here. Coming from Jenzighaus it is a short steep climb, here …

It's getting dark. Shadows are getting longer, days are getting shorter, the world is becoming more colorful🍁 We wanted to see that from above! Off to Jenzig for an evening round of horseshoes. Upstairs, a pretty dog was desperate for cuddles! 🐕Please don’t stop! Put your paw on your shoe, oh, better just lie down and put on the most …

The tour should actually be longer. But we started late. Then the colors came into play, and soon hunger. It wasn't the light that night. The moon lamp was switched on and shone quite brightly without loss of energy, support from the highest level, so to speak. But these colors amazed us today, we took our time. The maple is …

In a nutshell - enjoy the views! The evening sun threw its limelight on selected main actors of the green-green forest stage. Some actors scolded loudly, like the young spotted woodpecker, probably there wasn't enough to eat backstage. Just beautiful.

Today I did a short but intense loop on the doorstep to compensate, unfortunately there was no time for more. That's the beauty of Jena, you're immediately in nature and you're faced with a climb! For double mountain joy I first drove up to Jenzig, then down to Laasan and then pedaled back up again. I galloped on the horseshoe …
