A truly wonderful facility with several ponds and seating areas. The spacious grounds offer absolute peace and quiet. It's definitely worth stopping and taking a rest.

Single stamps, often no highlights, somewhere in the fields and meadows, where hares and hedgehogs usually say goodnight to each other, where thousands now go and are eyed strangely by locals – did it have to be chosen like this? Touringen organizers, it could definitely be done better! Exploring Thuringia is truly interesting and beautiful, we say that so often on the road! You get to places you'd never have strayed into before. But guiding thousands of people to often questionable individual highlights is truly ecologically counterproductive. What were the people in charge thinking? 😳

From 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. you can buy delicious calories here. Whether it's scrambled eggs, sausage, solyanka or just a sandwich. The variety is not too great but exquisite. Here cyclists and hikers can dine comfortably in the shade

Beautiful bridge. Here you can take a short break on the Unstrut cycle path just before Bad Langensalza and look at the Unstrut.
