Mentioned for the first time in the early 14th century, the Teufelslöcher are among the oldest known caves in Germany. These are now closed karst caves. At the Teufelslöchern there are some rest benches and the local history nature trail of Jena begins here, which leads from here over the central core mountain horizon.

You can find more information here: entdecke-jena.de/jena/teufelsloecher.htm.

Viewpoint at the Fuchsturm

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Fuchsturm beer garden towards the memorial, a viewing platform can be reached via a narrow bridge, which offers a beautiful view over Jena-Ost to the Jenzig and Zwätz.

Two rest benches invite you to sit down for a moment and enjoy the view.

Fuchsturm, Jena

Highlight • Monument

If you go hiking around Jena, you shouldn't miss the Fuchsturm. It is easy to reach if, for example, you start your tour from the parking lot at Steinkreuz. The tower itself can be climbed free of charge and from its top you can enjoy an excellent view of Jena.

Kirchberg royal palace (deserted site)

Highlight • Castle

The sex of Greifberger was first mentioned in 1156. The castle was probably taken over in the 13th century by the dominant ministers of Kirchberg. Greifberg was spared the storm of Erfurter 1304 and fell in 1345 to the Thuringian Landgrave. From the castle except a few moats or a bricked cistern and a partially buried underground passage or cellar vaults have been preserved. The city of Erfurt had temporarily stationed on Greifberg a crew to protect the trade routes. Greifberg was considered the strongest fortified of the castles on the local mountain of Jena.

Highlight • Restaurant

Fine dining with a fantastic view on the terrace in summer.
Unfortunately not for a tight hiker's wallet.
