The only Dutch windmill in the Vogtland dates from the 19th century. You can visit them and on certain days you can also see how flour is ground. It is slightly elevated, so you have a nice view from here.

Syrau Cave Park

Highlight • Natural

The cave park above the Dragon's Cave is a recreational area for young and old. There is a playground, an open-air stage, an adventure garden and lots of green spaces to relax in. You can also have a coffee in the Café Syros or the Haus Vogtland: syrau.de/drachenhoehle/hoehlenpark.

Syrau Dragon Cave

Highlight • Cave

Every hour on the hour you can explore the Dragon Cave in Syrau on a guided tour. Here, 16 meters underground, you almost feel like you are in another world. The cave is decorated with stalactites and sintered curtains. The subterranean structures appear completely different again during the laser show at the end of the tour.

Drachenhöhle Syrau – Eisenach–Budapest Stamping Point

Highlight • Cave

A beautiful cave with an exhibition space and a café at the exit. There are also playgrounds on site. The tour was really great, and the guide, Sascha, was super nice and funny. Of course, the cave's origins and the formation of the stalactites were explained in detail. Afterwards, there was a fantastic laser show in the cave. The price was also completely reasonable. It's definitely worth a visit.
