Discover Laucha

The Thuringian Cities Route cycle path runs directly through Laucha; a pond lies at the heart of the park’s green space. This means Laucha brings together a named cycling route and a place to stroll and relax. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can consider whether cycling or spending time in the park better suits your travel plans.

Cycle route and park greenery

The Thuringian Cities Route runs directly through Laucha. If you plan your trip around this long-distance route, Laucha is a place the route actually passes through. The park offers a different focus for the day: its pond lies at the heart of the green space, and the park invites you to stroll and relax. The town thus combines activity on the cycle route with the opportunity to spend time outdoors.

The Laucha Park Restaurant includes a beer garden, a restaurant, and a guesthouse. These options add dining and another type of accommodation to a stay in the town. When looking for a holiday apartment, the cycle route and park can instead help you decide what you would most like to focus on during your holiday.

Culture in the wider Hörsel destination

St. Kilian’s Church in Laucha is also one of the historic features of the wider Hörsel destination. After a fire, it was rebuilt as a Baroque hall church from 1720 onward. Its architectural style and period of reconstruction offer a specific insight into its history.

Other churches in the wider Hörsel destination offer their own points of interest. St. Boniface’s Church in Hörselgau was built in 1785 and has a Hesse organ and a shrine to St. Boniface. In Mechterstädt, St. Mary’s Church features Baroque decoration and has a Hoffmann organ. St. Michael’s in Teutleben dates from 1674 and has a painted wooden ceiling.

The village church in Weingarten also has its own historical significance: records date back to the 13th century, and it is considered one of Thuringia’s oldest village churches. The churches mentioned thus differ not only in their construction dates, but also in details such as organs, a shrine, or a painted ceiling.

The wider Hörsel destination also includes the buildings and grounds of Laucha Water Castle, which are still visible today. A large pond and regrown park remain in Laucha’s former castle park. These historic features add the castle grounds and parkland to the picture of Laucha.
