Schwarzatal

The Schwarza River and the wooded ridges of the Thuringian Forest define much of Schwarzatal – narrow valleys have concentrated settlement and underpin an economy linked to forestry, outdoor travel and local crafts. This part of Thuringia follows the Schwarza as it runs north toward the Saale, with roads and rail lines threading between small communities. Glassmaking remains an important local tradition, reflected in the name Mellenbach-Glasbach. Nearby Schloss Schwarzburg recalls the former princely House of Schwarzburg, while the Oberweißbacher Bergbahn is one of the area’s distinctive mountain railways.
