(Bach) curves and (half-timbered) corners in the central Thuringian Basin This tour proves that the central Thuringian Basin has more to offer than just farmland. The Helbe and its tributaries have carved deep into the Keuper rocks here, creating meandering valleys that practically invite exploration. The waterways are accompanied by gallery forests, where, among others, cuckoos and orioles let their characteristic calls be heard. The slopes alternate between dry grasslands, small woodlands, and extensive orchards, the latter forming a large white sea of blossoms in spring. In Großenehrich, the pretty half-timbered town hall is worth a short look.
