Pleasant Hiking in Bad Elster 3: Shelters on Brunnenberg

In Bad Elster, in addition to facilities for health and well-being, a variety of historic event venues and well-kept parks, there is also an attractive environment with a well-marked hiking trail network. These are special trails because they were laid out at the end of the 19th century as terrain cure paths, essentially as exercise routes for physical and mental training in nature.

The natural terrain structure offers the possibility to train with different stress levels. But factors such as the sun exposure of paths, landscape features, and attractive viewpoints were also taken into account. The nature experience was integrated into the healing process. Numerous resting areas and exemplary restored, well-maintained shelters and viewpoints still provide security to trainees and opportunities to rest, enjoy, and pause.
