Meadow in the middle of the alpaca paddock at the Rainbow Ranch

A meadow in the middle of the alpaca enclosure near Volkmannsdorf, high in the Thuringian Forest close to the Rennsteig trail. The view stretches far over the treetops, and right next door the animals graze with their young. Among them is the llama doing its playful leaps. And Willie, the mini pony, not even sixty centimeters tall. Those who prefer camping descend one hundred meters steeply into the Rosencottagegarten garden by the forest, three minutes to the boat dock below the Hohenwarte dam. The forest swimming area is two kilometers away. Mornings bring mist over the Thuringian Sea.1

Sights in the area1

Feengrotten Saalfeld

An old show mine with colourfully shimmering dripstones; the region's rainy-day classic, about eleven kilometres from the site.

Hohenwarte Reservoir

The reservoir, the Thuringian Sea, cuts deep through the slate mountains. Good for swimming and SUP tours; the boat pier sits below the dam wall.

Meura Haflinger Stud

One of the largest Haflinger studs of its kind; in spring the foals stand out on the paddocks, a quiet afternoon for horse folk.

Morassina Show Cave

An old mine with a healing gallery near Schmiedefeld; cool and dry, even when the sun blazes outside.
