Today we go back to the Schwarzatal Panoramaweg. The 7th stage takes us from Schwarzmühle to Schwarzburg. We start the hike right at the parking lot at the train station, with a view of the Schwarza, in Schwarzmühle.

A nice place for a break in the shady little house, which is even equipped with benches covered with Styrofoam, which allows you to sit softly and insulated when it's cold. When it's hot, you can cool off your arms and face with the cool water from the bathtub 👍😀 or wet a cloth and put it on your neck.
