Relaxed nature trail in the Thuringian Forest Nature Park.
This beautiful nature trail starts at the nature park gate at the Wuhlheide in Viernau. It is interesting and easy to walk on for families with children and even pushchairs. It passes through the so-called "Viernau fault zone", in which various other sediments such as shell limestone and Zechstein can also be found due to the fracture of the large sandstone floe. This special feature naturally also has an effect on the vegetation and wildlife.
To complete the nature trail with a circular route, follow the signs to the "Mordplatz".
The starting point can be reached from the "Viernau" railway station or from the car park near the church and then on foot. There are also refreshment stops in the town centre.
