One of the prettiest villages along the river
Ilm is Eberstedt. There is a small but imposing
church and lay-by on the banks of the Ilm,
and a fountain bearing the weight of the
world (in the form of a framework globe).
Visitors become the pointer on a giant, walkon
sundial, using their body to cast the
shadow: a spot of teach-yourself physics with
some fun thrown in! Other points of interest
include the reconstruction of the historical oil
mill with its“Zuppinger”water wheel, mill
shop and floating wooden huts. Nature at
its best, and a sure-attraction for walkers,
cyclists, horse-riders and anyone else.

Distance from Weimar: 12 km
Perched on a hill in the village of
Leutenthal, there is a permanent, open-air
exhibition of miniature models of traction
engines. The traction engines and steam
tugs, steam-driven band saws and diggers
look just as if they had been standing in a
barn for 100 years gathering rust. Visitors
are able to interact with the Leonardo da
Vinci models and find out for themselves
D T L E U T E N T H A L
how forces work and generate movement
in different directions. They can then give
full rein to their artistic talents at the
potter’s wheel or shaving horse in one of
the small roofed huts.
