Hohe Sonne

The view is always worthwhile

Now in the fall 🍂 a beautiful view

The High Sun used to be a hunting lodge. Approximately In 1900 it was rebuilt into its current form as a hotel. Already in 1985 this closed because of structural defects ...

The Hohe Sonne is the interface of many tours and offers with the large parking lot an ideal starting point for mountain bike tours!

The Hohe Sonne is a forest settlement of the Wartburg city of Eisenach in Thuringia.

Very nice rest area with many opportunities for hiking and cycling.

Formerly Hotel Hohe Sonne.
The hotel was built in 1899, the successor of a baroque hunting lodge built in the middle of the 18th century. The hotel was changed several times, until it was closed in 1985 and now slowly decaying.
In 2014, it was listed by the Thuringian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments as one of sixteen endangered castles in Thuringia and the building was to be secured. Nothing has changed to this day.
In order to ensure the supply for hikers, cyclists or visitors, stand for more than 30 years provisionally erected log cabins and tents on the high sun.
