Wer seinen Fuß nicht auf den Lerchenberg gesetzt hat, der war nicht in Zella-Mehlis. Der Rundumblick über die Stadt aus knapp 560 Metern Höhe und auf die weiten Wälder ist einfach ein Genuss. Außerdem ist es eine unserer Wohlfühloasen in Zella-Mehlis. Hier oben befinden sich verschiedene Trendsportanlagen, ein Spielplatz, eine E-Bike-Ladestation, ein barrierefreier Rundweg, eine barrierefreie Toilette sowie die Projektfläche "Essbare Stadt" samt Streuobstwiese, Insektenhotel und Bienenstock. Und nicht zu vergessen: Die gemütlichen Sitznischen, ein öffentlicher Bücherschrank und die herrliche Baumallee.
