An evangelical church that appears simple and unpretentious both inside and out. All the more reason for the organ, with its baroque facade, to be the eye-catcher. The instrument was replaced by a new one in 1896. However, the facade still dates from the Schlottmann organ from 1752. Johannes Schlottmann (1726-1795) temporarily ran his organ-building workshop here in Friedewald. He is a truly tragic figure in music history. Envy from competitors, but certainly also too little business acumen, repeatedly got him into difficulties, including insolvency and imprisonment. His Friedewald workshop was auctioned off, and he worked as a travelling organ builder. The organs that have survived from him are nevertheless of remarkable quality.

Just like the spoil heap, the surface mining facilities are also worth seeing. The headframe is visible from afar.

A very impressive industrial facility. However, the air in the surrounding area and on the opposite side of the Werra River is not pleasant.

Another highlight along the way. The air is unfortunately not very good, but the enormous Kali mountains are very impressive. One town further on, you can even climb Monte Kali.

When the small observatory was built in 1971 and 1972 on the hill not far from the then-quietly used A4 motorway, the outskirts of the village were considerably farther away than they are today. Hardly any artificial light source obscured the stargazers' view of the night sky here, just outside the village gates. "Back then, this location was ideal," emphasizes Arnulf von der Stein after unlocking the massive outer door. Now 83, he witnessed the development of this rather functional, purpose-built building, whose appearance, thanks to its distinctive dome, nevertheless resembles a miniature cathedral, from its beginnings to its demise.
