Kauern

Geographically, Kauern lies on the edge of the Thuringian Slate Mountains and is surrounded by picturesque forests. The town itself has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. Today it is known for its impressive architecture and cultural heritage.

Sights relevant to tourism include the Schlossberg with the Greiz residential palace and the summer palace on the Unterer Burgplatz. A walk through the old town is also worthwhile: here you will find historic buildings such as the town hall or the town church of St. Marien.

Culturally interested visitors should definitely take a look at the "Reichenfels" museum, which provides insights into regional history. In addition, the "Greizer Park- & Schlössertag" (Greizer Park & Castle Day) attracts visitors every year in August, where they can experience various events related to art and music.

But Kauern also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Try hearty Thuringian dumplings, for example, or enjoy sweet treats such as Eierschecke or Quarkkuchen.

For outdoor activities, the nearby Zeulenroda dam reservoir is particularly suitable, where you can swim, sail or fish. Hikes through the surrounding forests are also highly recommended, especially in autumn when the leaves turn colourful.

If it should rain, a visit to the "Vogtländisches Freilichtmuseum Landwüst" (Vogtland Open-Air Museum Landwüst) is a good idea or you can end the day comfortably in one of the many cafés.

Where is the most beautiful? That depends on your personal preferences, of course - but we recommend a walk along the White Elster or a ride on the historic steam train on the Greiz-Gera line. Another highlight is also the view from the Schlossberg over the town and the surrounding countryside.

Overall, Kauern, Greiz is definitely worth a visit and offers something for everyone. We hope that this travel guide will help you with your planning and wish you an unforgettable stay!
