An absolute highlight in the new Ronneburg landscape is the dragon's tail bridge 👌🏻.

Besides cycling, a short hike on the Elsterperlenweg trail is also recommended. Sure-footedness is required.

FYI, the discovery tower is accessible all the way to the top (photo attached), but closed to climbing. As of August 2025, I had a fantastic view from up here. The Dragon's Tail Bridge is currently undergoing renovations after 18 years, expected to last until the end of November 2025, so it's closed. It's possible to walk through the bottom.

The Lummersche Backhaus consists of the restaurant in the building and the bridge café on the Untermhäuser Bridge. You can sit and enjoy your meal in the historic building or on the bridge.
