What is there to discover?
The village of Riechheim - a district of Elleben - is a well-known and popular nature conservation and hiking area with a lot of untouched forest landscape for the residents of the Thuringian state capital Erfurt, about 17 km north - beautifully situated on the over 500 m high Riechheimer Berg, the one wonderful 80 - 100 km wide view of the southern Thuringian basin (Arnstadt, the famous "3-Gleichen-Burgen") and large parts of the Thuringian forest. From here you can easily drive to Erfurt in about 20 minutes and Weimar in about 30-40 minutes - the European Capital of Culture 1999 and UNESCO World Heritage with the houses of Goethe, Schiller and Liszt, the famous National Theater ("Weimar Republic ") and the" Bauhaus "- but also to the infamous Buchenwald concentration camp.
You will find just a few kilometers from your apartment (even on foot!) the Thuringian open air museum Hohenfelden, only approx. 1 - 2 km further the thermal landscape and water park "Avenida-Therme" and behind it the active park Hohenfelden with climbing forest, archery, adventure golf, bungee trampoline, beach volleyball, climbing playground and petting zoo. In summer you can go swimming in the lake there ... Another short stretch - and you are in the old town of Kranichfeld with its two castles and a well-known falconry, the daily flight demonstrations of birds of prey of many types and sizes (even a Condor is included!) offers. Of course, you can also explore all of this by bike - and for fans of the bicycle (which you can borrow from us) there are a number of cycle paths available - such as the Ilmtal cycle path and the Rennsteig cycle path. And on the weekends you can let yourself be blown up in the air in nearby Bad Berka - or explore the area comfortably from above with an engine pilot.
You will find Arnstadt in a south-westerly direction - this is where Johann Sebastian Bach found his first job as organist and in nearby Dornheim you can visit the church where he was married to his first wife. And in winter it is not far from there to the winter sports resorts in the Thuringian Forest, especially the famous Oberhof with its toboggan and bobsleigh tracks, biathlon, cross-country and alpine skiing areas. From Riechheim you can easily take day trips to the entire Thuringian country. B. to Gotha, Eisenach with the Wartburg, Bad Langensalza with its beautiful gardens, etc. And of course please don't forget the state capital Erfurt, which can be reached in just a few minutes by car! A little further away, but still feasible as a day trip e.g. E.g .: Eisenach with Wartburg and Bach birth house, UNESCO World Natural Heritage and one of the last German primeval forests "Hainich National Park" with tree top path or the "Kyffhäuser" in the north of Thuringia ..
