- 3.9 (3)·Easy·1.2 mi·Est. 0.5–1 hrBeautiful themed trail in the Rautal valley near Jena, Thuringia. A wonderful loop 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
