Lake Kalbe

Highlight • Lake

In addition to a beautiful view, there are also a few things worth knowing about open-cast mining in the region.

Stinksteinwand

Highlight • Natural Monument

In the past, brown coal was mined here. Since then, the remaining coal in the mountain has come into contact with oxygen and ignited itself. One of the fires has been smoldering for over 300 years.

Cemetery of the former Schwalbenthal mining settlement

Highlight • Historical Site

The question is whether you value such places. I myself do not dislike them. You just make you think, because each cross stands for an individual fate.

Carlsstollen

Highlight • Historical Site

From 1560 to 1929 lignite was mined at the Hohen Meißner. The Carlsstollen is a testimony of that time. Information boards explain more about the mining and the different types of rock.

The natural monument made of basalt rock, which is managed by the Werra Valley Association, is always worth a visit. The narrow, well-groomed paths and the stones themselves transport me to a different, earlier world with every stay.

Hoher Meißner Mountain Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

The Meißner mountain inn is closed and the outside has been left to decay. Formerly a well-known and well-frequented excursion restaurant, today it is more of a lost place.
