The whispering of the wind that blows through the leaves of the beech trees. The gentle rippling of the water that flows through the mountain brook. The quiet buzzing of the bees or the soft croaking of the pool frog. Otherwise, it is pleasantly quiet all around you. In Thuringia’s natural landscapes, you can recharge your batteries and enjoy a break from the hustle and bustle of urban or rural life. Thanks to the varied nature, everyone will find their own quiet place here: untouched nature in the primeval forest of the Hainich, flowering mountain meadows in the Thuringian Forest, a reservoir landscape in the Thuringian Highlands or grassy steppes in the Thuringian Basin. We would like to present our nature parks, biosphere reserves and national park to you.

Staying outside on a clear starry night and allowing the dark to unfold is particularly worth it in the Rhön. Because of the sparse population density, the light pollution is relatively low.

The forest is a millennia-old place of power that welcomes us and allows us to find peace. That is why increasing numbers of people are spending time there to rejuvenate. “Forest bathing” is a term for taking a “bath” in the atmosphere of a forest.

As you’re walking along, it takes a while to realise that you can’t hear much for a change. Except for the buzzing of bees, the wind in the canopy and your own footsteps. It’s a quiet, but by no means uneventful tour from Oberhof to Allzunah.

A real treasure for historical railway enthusiasts and nature lovers awaits in the wild and romantic Schwarza valley.
