You can do the trail without climbing equipment. However, it's very steep, sometimes slippery, and unsecured. In my opinion, it's very dangerous when wet. Fantastic views!

Not far from the train station, two beautiful historic steel truss bridges lead over the Saale to the hiking trails to Leuchtenburg. It's worth looking at the river and the beavers' tracks from here!

The Carolinenturm on the Kötsch is a very popular destination. It is one of the three towers of the Thuringian Three Towers hiking trail and also a stamping point for Touringen (No. 345). From here you have a great view and perspective. The rest areas and benches around the Carolinenturm invite you to linger. Absolutely worth it!👍

The view of the rock from the bike path. A few daring people try to climb up here again and again. A little hint; let it go. The rock is brittle and very loose. The rescue from the wall is only possible with great effort. So just look up in awe and hope that the Leuchtenburg doesn't accidentally come your way.
