Place & time: Train station "Jena Paradies", platform 2, 11:00

The three Dornburg castles are a landmark of the Saale valley and a tourist highlight of the cultural programme. More than 800 years of history are united here. The Old Castle harbours the remains of a medieval castle. The Rococo Castle is a gallant 18th century pleasure palace with a porcelain collection. The Renaissance palace is closely associated with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. 

We take the train from Jena's Paradies station to Dornburg (12-minute journey time) and hike up to the castles from there (approx. 30-minute walk). A visit to the castles and gardens is free of charge. A visit to the museum can be organised individually (admission: €4). 

Place & time: Main entrance to University Hospital Jena (Am Klinikum 1, 07747 Jena), 11:15

We hike a section of the "SaaleHorizontale", the famous hiking trail around Jena. We start at the square in front of the main entrance to the University Hospital and finish in the centre of Jena. We recommend warm, rainproof clothing and sturdy shoes. The path is very narrow in some places and leads along open rock. Don’t forget bringing something to drink and a snack!

Participation in the hike is free of charge.

Place & time: Jembo Park Jena (Rudolstädter Straße 93, 07745 Jena-Göschwitz), 19:00

In the Plan B boulder hall you climb up boulders without a safety rope. Soft mats ensure that falling down is also fun and that you can't hurt yourself. During the training session, climbing techniques are taught and the first climbing tours are undertaken. Afterwards, everyone can continue climbing for as long as they like.

Important: Bring sports clothes and a towel. Climbing shoes can be borrowed from the bouldering hall. Food and drinks can either be brought along or bought in the boulder hall.
