Hiking

The Griesbachfelsen is the most impressive rock formation on this route. It's not just the fantastic view of the deep, beautiful Schwarzatal that makes the journey up here worth it; this rock was dedicated to Professor of the Theological Faculty in Jena, Johann Jakob Griesbach.

Hiking

Tricky to reach and exhausting, but worth the climb.

The rock was dedicated to the Jena theologian Johann Jakob Griesbach. Griesbach liked to visit the rock during his stays in Blankenburg.
