Kamsdorf: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Großkamsdorf and Kleinkamsdorf, two formerly independent municipalities of Kamsdorf, have been documented since the 14th century. This provides a specific cultural point of reference for visitors interested in local history.

Landscape

Kamsdorf lies on a north-facing slope overlooking the Orla depression, between Saalfeld and Pößneck, in the Thuringian Slate Mountains/Upper Saale Nature Park.

Culture

Kamsdorf is associated with one of Germany’s oldest mining regions; mining in the surrounding area continued for four centuries.

The Garden of Labyrinths in Kamsdorf comprises three labyrinths designed by the artist Jess Fuller and is a place for encounters, movement and quiet reflection. This makes it interesting for visitors who would like to combine encounters, movement and quiet reflection.

Kamsdorf is described as a residential area with farmsteads, 20th-century settlement buildings, as well as modern detached and semi-detached houses.

Surroundings

Heidecksburg, the Fairy Grottoes and Zipptannskuppe are located in the surroundings of Kamsdorf.

In the wider regional surroundings of Kamsdorf are Lauenstein Castle, Schwarzburg Palace and Castle Ebersdorf.

Steinbiel and Roter Berg are located in the immediate surroundings of Kamsdorf.

Cycling

For rail travellers, the stations in Saalfeld and Unterwellenborn are designated as starting points for the cycling route. The approximately 25-kilometre-long mining route connects Saalfeld, Unterwellenborn, Könitz and Kamsdorf; the visitor mine in Kamsdorf is mentioned as a possible starting point.

The Vereinigte Reviere Kamsdorf Visitor Mine presents various mining eras on two underground circular routes. These include a 500-metre-long section with an underground railway using original mine wagons, as well as an above-ground exhibition.
