Beautiful themed trail in the Rautal valley near Jena, Thuringia.
A wonderful circular route and something very special if walked at the right time of year. In spring, the thousands of winter aconites (Eranthis hyemalis) create a sea of yellow flowers here in the Rautal forest.
The route follows near-natural paths. Sturdy footwear is recommended, also because it can often still be muddy in spring.
Highlights:
- Wildflowers
- Information boards
- Burschenplatz and Steinbach near the route
