This romantic riverside path is highly recommended.
In fact, you do need to be sure-footed in some places and a little climbing is also necessary - but it's doable 💪🏻

May 10, 2024,Drachenschwanz Runde von Altenbeuthen

A very interesting hike that offers a lot of scenery! However, you should be careful in certain places, as trees have fallen and in one place the path has been washed away. You can still continue there, but you do have to climb a bit! Very exciting for children

June 19, 2025,Uferpfad – Romantischer Uferweg Runde von Altenroth

The route via Google Maps initially sent us to the wrong side of the lake. However, we were able to cross quickly and easily on the ferry. At the campsite, we asked if we could park in a space outside the barrier, which we were allowed to do. The path itself, especially along the lake, requires surefootedness and sturdy footwear. …

June 2, 2023,Wandern über Stock und Stein am Thüringischen Meer 😍🏞️

The name says it all here: adventurous paths often take you from highlight to highlight. Either high above the Hohenwarte to the Bockfelsen, a 1a vantage point over the "Thuringian Sea", or along the Saale on rocky paths to the Drachenschwanz. There are numerous dachas in the forest around the campsites. Nevertheless, we were mostly alone on the paths. Conclusion: …

Beautiful hike at the Hohenwarte reservoir. Unfortunately, the pictures don't convey how beautiful it is there. It is advisable to wear sturdy and non-slip shoes, as the path along the shore is very rocky.

April 23, 2022,Aussicht am Bockfelsen – weiter zum Drachenschwanz Runde von Altenbeuthen

The second hike around Kaulsdorf led us to the Bockfelsen, from which we wanted to enjoy the view. The starting point was the goat farm near Gössitz. We walked along the Hohenwarte Stausee path over the Bockfelsen, Drachenschwanz towards the campsite. The path directly along the water was adventurous and requires surefootedness, as it is very narrow and it goes …

A really nice, relaxed but also exciting route. With a little bit of climbing 😁 Sure-footedness is definitely required in some places.

May 28, 2023,Bockfelsen 👀 - Bloßebene - Drachenschwanz 🐉 🔁 von Neumannsdorf

You should have noticed by now that I like being on the water. So today's tour took me once more to the Hohenwarte reservoir. The start and finish is at the "Neumannshof" campsite in Neumannsdorf. On the Hohenwarte reservoir path it goes up to the Bockfelsen. Here you have a fantastic view of the reservoir and the "Hopfenmühle" campsite. Via …

July 25, 2024,Vom Campingplatz Portenschmiede zum Drachenschwanz

Today's hike begins near the Portenschmiede campsite near
Wilhelmsdorf. A beautiful riverside path to the hairpin bend.
From there, uphill until we reach the edge of the forest or field. The highlight was the Bock rock with a
magnificent view of the Saale. We soon continued downhill again to the very tip of the Drachenschwanz, the last few meters through …
