May 14, 2023,Schwarzburg - Impressionen Unterer Ort

Whether to enter the Schwarzatal or the place alone, with its unmistakable Thuringian spa town architecture, Schwarzburg (Unterer Ort) is always worth hiking.

January 29, 2023,222. komoot-Tour! Runde im Schwarzatal.

The 222nd komoot tour. Into the Schwarzatal from Schwarzburg Unterer Ort. The history of the place as a princely seat and place where the Weimar Constitution was signed + the impressive Thuringian spa town architecture from the Gründerzeit + the wildly romantic winter Schwarzatal and the delicious reward in the "Zur Perle" inn = a worthy anniversary tour!
