Other Kleineutersdorf, Thuringia, Germany

What to expect

Jagdanlage Rieseneck is a medieval hunting complex near Hummelshain, set into a forested hillside with stone passageways, underground tunnels, and observation posts. The complex served aristocratic hunting for several centuries and features a network of covered trenches that allowed hunters to approach wildlife without being seen. Visitors can explore the grounds and observe the historical practices of aristocratic hunting. The area is also suitable for hiking, with several trails nearby, including the Von Chauseehaus über den Herzogstuhl trail and the Rundwanderweg Jagdfieber trail. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and warm clothing when visiting
