Practical city guide
Understand the setting before choosing your own route.
Today's town grew from Zella and Mehlis, whose distinct traditions remain visible in the street layout, churches and local stories. Craftsmanship, metalworking and invention played important roles.
Its valley setting in the Thuringian Forest makes it easy to combine museums and family attractions with views from Lerchenberg or a more demanding climb to Ruppberg.
