Beautiful round in Bad Salzungen, Thuringia.
A beautiful and relaxed round that is perfect for a short walk or a run. It's about the circular castle lake, which is a so-called sinkhole lake. It was formed by breaking through a top layer into a cavity that gradually formed below and has no natural inflow or outflow. In between, you make a small detour to the Rathenaupark. If you are traveling with children, you will also find a small playground here. There are restaurants and cafes in the village.
