Tips from the Community

April 12, 2026, Burg Rabis (Das Luftschiff)

In the middle of the 17th century, the inn located on a trade route and the farm belonging to the Rabis manor were first mentioned in a document. From 1850 onwards, the guesthouse "Luftschiff" existed here, which quickly became a popular excursion destination. After a fire in 1905, the restaurant was rebuilt and existed in this form until 1970. It subsequently came into the possession of the Carl Zeiss company, which had the guesthouse demolished in 1974. https://www.literaturland-thueringen.de/artikel/novalis-wanderweg-rundweg-von-drackendorf-nach-schloeben/burg-rabis-ehemaliges-luftschiff/

A beautifully landscaped rest area at a presumably historical site.

Also well-suited for cyclists. Dismounting is not necessary. However, riding without lights is almost blind for the first few meters, as your eyes need time to adjust to the sudden darkness.
