Considering that there wasn't a cycle path here many years ago, it's all the nicer to find one here now with a well-paved path.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Altendambach in Altendambach, a district of the town of Schleusingen in the district of Hildburghausen (Thuringia), was consecrated on December 9, 1617. The listed building received its current appearance in the 18th century. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelisch-lutherische_Kirche_Altendambach Of interest is the former church bell hanging next to the church, which hung in the bell tower until 2015.

Well, worth it is an exaggeration, even if the motorway pillars look elegant. But you actually just drive underneath them.

The first church in Einhausen was built in 1369. Information panels provide insights into the interior, as well as the historical burials and ancient grave goods. Those wishing to explore the churchyard shouldn't be deterred by the locked gate. The massive bolt can and may be opened! Within the fortified churchyard lie the cemetery, residential buildings, and the church itself. Although the church is locked, it will be opened upon request. The mobile phone number is posted on the door.
