From the Rhäden you have a great view of the MonteKali near Heringen.

The Gothic appearance of St. Martin, the Protestant church of Lauchröden, somewhat conceals its true age - built in the second half of the 12th century and thus still of Romanesque origin.

From here you also have a great view of the MonteKali Heringen and also of the Philippsthal spoil heap

While not all parts of Lauchröden are worth exploring, the church still exudes a very historic atmosphere. There's also an information board there, but unfortunately, the church isn't open to the public.
