The circular hike from Frohburg leads across the state borders of Saxony and Thuringia into the “Eschefelder Teiche” nature reserve and back again.

The charming town of Frohburg is worth seeing in many ways. With a rich forest landscape, the Wyhra, its lush river meadows and dreamy ponds, you can still encounter a piece of untouched nature here. The circular walk takes you to the "Eschefelder Teiche" nature reserve, a 525-hectare area with more than 100 bird species. In the Teichhaus nature reserve, which has been run by NABU Saxony since 1996, exhibitions and the library provide information about the unique cultural landscape. In addition to nature lovers, lovers of historical sights, those seeking relaxation and sports and action fans also get their money's worth. A visit to Frohburg Castle with its extensive ceramics and toy collection and the adjacent English-style park is definitely worth planning.

The pond house is also home to the NABU nature conservation station. Along the large pond you will reach Eschefeld. On the path "Zu den Fünf Linden", past meadows and fields, you will head back towards Frohburg. Through the OT Röthgen you will head back towards the town. The post mile post and the pottery girl by Kurt Feuerriegel are worth seeing here on the way to Frohburg.
