The best running trails around Buttlar

The first documented mention of Geisa dates back to the year 817. In 1302, the designation of city appears for the first time in a document. The chronicler once described the old town, picturesquely beautiful, as a "strawberry in a moss basket" on a long ridge (280 to 322 m above sea level) between the mountain tops of the Vordere Rhön. The towers of the parish church, the town hall and the Schlossplatz ensemble, the historically grown arrangement of residential buildings in conjunction with the approx. 1000 m long town fortifications and the park-like designed summit of the Gangolfiberg with an ancient court and the architecturally historically valuable cemetery chapel "St. Gangolf" with an external pulpit, shape a romantically dreamy image.

Along the Green Belt directly on the Point-Alpha-Weg, an outdoor pavilion with three rotating sun loungers has been set up on a sun plateau. There, you can also learn interesting facts about the special history of the place from information boards - Wiesenfeld became known primarily for a mass exodus out of fear of forced evacuations.

The Catholic parish church was built between 1489 and 1504; the main room was created in 1497, evidenced by an inscription from the donors Tolde Knauf and Hans Steffen. A church already existed in Geisa in the 14th century, and the current sacristy may still date from that period. The building is uniformly late Gothic in design, with a natural stone facade, high buttresses, and ornate tracery windows. The west tower with five stories and a 16th-century stair tower are striking. The tower's summit was renewed in 1988/89. Inside, there is a high, light-flooded church interior. Significant furnishings include a baptismal font from the construction period, a pulpit from 1703, a triumphal arch with a Corpus Christi, and frescoes from around 1500. Particularly valuable is the winged altarpiece from 1491 with depictions from the life of Mary and the Passion of Christ. Relics are exhibited in the sacristy, and an organ from 1848 is located in the gallery. Since 2003, the tower's upper section has also housed a carillon with 49 bronze bells. The automatic playing system has set playing times, including (11 a.m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m.). However, carillon concerts also take place regularly. During these concerts, it is possible to look over the carillonneur's shoulder.

Beautiful old town in Geisa.

The Catholic parish church was built between 1489 and 1504 and is the only Gothic church in the Geisa deanery that has survived from the Middle Ages. Worthy of note are the valuable late Gothic winged altar from 1491, a rectangular stone offering box from 1517, and a baptismal font with late Gothic tracery from 1527. (Source: Thüringen.info)

A truly picturesque old town with a beautiful town hall and impressive castle.

With the construction and expansion of the barriers along the inner-German border, observation towers or border towers became an important component of the border security system. These towers served primarily to prevent the escape of GDR citizens and were usually located directly behind the frontier border installations (border fence or border wall). The observation towers, originally constructed of wood, were replaced by concrete towers starting around 1969. (Source: Wikipedia)
