Ziegenrück on the Saale River

Highlight • Settlement

Ziegenrück is simply a small, sleepy place between the Thuringian seas. The food is very good and there are countless beautiful cycling and hiking trails. A detour is worthwhile.

Walsburg is a wonderful little village in the forest. The Saale flows through the town. In the village the Wisenta flows into the Saale

In the stilt house with a view of the Födischteich, animals can be observed without disturbing anyone. In addition to the many bird species, with a little luck you can also see fallow deer.
