After three weeks of hiking in Thuringia, I can say that this is the most beautiful natural spectacle I have seen. Great how the path meanders through the moss-covered rocks of the gorge.

Nice view of the Wartburg. Two small benches invite you to rest.

Landgrave Gorge

The Landgrafenschlucht is very attractive and you can easily combine it as a circular route with the Drachenschlucht.

With my friend Andrea, who spontaneously joined us, we went to Eisenach. The goal was to close the gaps in our education and get a hike off our list!
We achieved both, had a nice meal at the Kartoffelhaus, and enjoyed perfect hiking weather!
A tip: definitely don't go via the Landgrafenschlucht to the Drachenschlucht as some hikers recommend, but …

The tour is without question one of the most impressive we have done so far. 🫶🥾According to the media, it is definitely the most beautiful hiking tour in Thuringia, or one of the most beautiful in Germany.

Next, we went to the Großer Drachenstein (Great Dragon Stone), where the views are usually fantastic 🙃. With the fog 🌫️, not so much 🥳🤣. Then we continued through the winter wonderland …

Tabarz/Thuringia Day 2: Gorge Hike near Eisenach.


The Drachenschlucht Gorge runs along the B19, which runs through the Anna Valley. The entire area is located near Eisenach. We started at the Liliengrund parking lot. We first walked along the Wichmannpromenade past the golden "M" – no, not McDonald's, but a 6.50 m high "M" carved into the rock face …

Today we went to the Drachenschlucht in Eisenach in wonderful hiking weather. From the Drachenschlucht via the Hohe Sonne the path back to the parking lot took us through the Landgrafenschlucht. I don't have to tell you any more. Just look at my pictures.
