Chrysopras Weir on the Schwarza River

Highlight • Waterfall

It was built at the beginning of the 20th century and served to regulate the water level of the Schwarza and to create an artificial tributary, the Lache.

Kiss Bridge at the Chrysopras Weir

Highlight • Bridge

The Kuss-Steg, also called the Kissing Bridge, is located at the Chrysopaswehr and is a popular attraction in Bad Blankenburg. It is part of the town's history and is often used by young couples for a first date. The footbridge was recently renovated to restore its original beauty.

Old Horse Stable

Highlight • Structure

It was used as a roof for the princely vehicles and horses. The small rock caves probably served as a place to store fodder. We have now reached the small, wild and romantic Eberstein hunting lodge of the Schwarzburg princes who used to reside in this area.

Eberstein Hunting Lodge

Highlight • Historical Site

It was built in 1844 in the Moorish style that was common at the time and was used by the royal family until 1918, particularly for wild boar hunting. The castle was located in a large wild boar enclosure, a type of enclosure known as a "sucking garden". In this area, wild boars were cared for and looked after for the royal hunt. The castle is usually closed, but today it is used by the municipality of Dittersdorf, which also organizes its maintenance, as an event venue.

Actually, the Elisabethfelsen was my destination today. But as so often in the last few days, the weather thwarted the bill😬 ...
