Relaxing loop at the deserted village of Tanndorf, Thuringia
The trail leads to historic places that were mentioned and settled as early as the 14th century - but were unfortunately destroyed by wars at the time. The beautiful landscape was left behind.
This route starts at the Barigauer Turm, which is also easily accessible by public transport (bus stop "Barigauer Turm"). The route initially heads northwards across cleared woodland, fields and meadows. With a bit of luck, wild animals can be observed and hiking stamps can be collected at the deserted site.
Refreshments are available in both villages.
Highlights:
- High plateau and beautiful landscape
- Very quiet and relaxing
- Barigau tower
