Bench with a view of Barigauer Höhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

As the name suggests, this bench is great for snogging. If you don't have a girlfriend or boyfriend with you, you can hit the wheel. I recommend the chain. This gives the typical Radler chain Knutsch pattern on the mouth. Preferably for mountain bikers in love.

Barigauer Turm Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Barigauer Tower is an observation tower on the Barigauer Höhe near Barigau, a district of Königsee in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district of Thuringia. Built in 1912, it offers impressive panoramic views of the region from a height of 664.6 meters. On a clear day, you can see over 43 villages, towns, and famous mountain peaks from here, including the Schneekopf near Ilmenau and the Leuchtenburg Castle in Kahla. Next to the tower, there is a restaurant that welcomes hikers and visitors.

The way across open meadows, the wind blows cold and we let the distance work on us.
A quote from Heinz Erhardt written on a bench “People are like cars. Trucks are hard to stop.”
