In the legendary Drachenschlucht south of Eisenach, romantics, nature lovers and geologists all get their money's worth. In the narrow gorge you hike on boardwalks over a rushing brook.
Roaring water beneath your feet, millions of glittering water droplets on moss-covered rocks barely more than a man's width apart – the Drachenschlucht is one of Thuringia's most exciting geotopes. Over millions of years, the water of a brook has cut almost ten meters deep into the red rocks below the Wartburg. A path has been established through the approximately 200 meters long gorge, where you can walk directly above the small brook through the fantastic rock formations.
You start your route in Mariental near Eisenach and walk through the impressive Landgrafenschlucht up to the Great Drachenstein. After enjoying the magnificent view there, follow the Wine Street to the Hohe Sonne directly on the Rennsteig. After a short break at the Grill Hohe Sonne, descend through the Drachenschlucht, ending back in Mariental.
The route is especially exciting and fascinating for children. There is much to discover and explore. TIP: For all little guests, there is a dragon quiz to take away at the Tourist Information office at the market. After the hike, winners with correct answers can pick up a small gift.
ATTENTION: Mariental is a popular excursion destination, especially on weekends many day trippers visit the region. Please do NOT park along the heavily traveled federal road if parking lots are full (parking prohibited). Public transport is therefore recommended. More information about departure times can be found under Arrival.
