The third stage offers you a diverse insight into the culture, history, and nature of the Thuringian Sea surroundings.
Stage 3: Ziegenrück to Drognitz
This stage takes you from the fairy-tale small town to beautiful viewpoints. After visiting the sights of Ziegenrück, the hiking trail runs along the picturesque Saale riverbank past the Hemmkoppe. Steep banks of the Saale rise on left and right. Then it goes steeply uphill. In Altenbeuthen, you will be more than rewarded for the effort. Two inns invite you to eat and relax. At the viewpoint Hohe Leite, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Saale valley. Over the ridge, you reach Drognitz in a short time. There, a rustic traditional inn awaits you as well as the connection to the hiking bus.
