June 7, 2026, Carved Benches with Animal Motifs

Here are two newly made benches with great carvings on the sides, which were created with a chainsaw. This has created a real eye-catcher that invites you to sit down. These have been supplemented with tables, a really beautiful resting place.

The stone dumps of the Steinsburg on the Kleiner Gleichberg near Römhild in Thuringia are a sea of volcanic rock formed by the eroding basalt blocks of the former volcano. They line the slopes of the basalt cones and are a typical feature of the crumbling volcanic ruins of the Gleichberg Mountains. The term "Steinsburg" probably derives from these large stone fields surrounding the mountain plateau. In Celtic times, these basalt blocks were used to build dry-stone walls for the oppidum (hilltop settlement) built around the mountain.

At the foot of the Großer Gleichberg, above the monument, stands this oak tree, designated as a natural monument. The surrounding area was recently redesigned. A new bridge now spans the small ditch, and a bench sits directly beneath the tree, inviting visitors to linger. A display with an insect hotel and an information panel on appropriate conduct in the nature reserve has also been installed. These improvements have created an attractive environment. Many thanks to the Friends of the Großer Gleichberg for their fantastic commitment! 👌🏻
