Beautiful round in Bad Salzungen, Thuringia.
A beautiful and relaxed loop that is perfect for a short walk or run. It goes around the circular Burgsee lake, which is a so-called sinkhole lake. It was formed when a surface layer broke through into a cavity that gradually developed underneath and has no natural inflow or outflow. In between, take a short detour to Rathenaupark. If you are travelling with children, you will also find a small playground here. There are restaurants and cafés in the village.
