Attractions

The townscape is shaped by the baroque village church from 1752 and the new development area consisting of four houses.

Place and church

The church, built around 1500, was consecrated to Saint Cyriacus in the pre-Reformation period. The nave from 1639 was renewed around 1820 with galleries on Doric columns. Before the 32 m high roof tower was erected in 1750, legend has it that the master builder, a local carpenter, retired to a rye field for several days and assembled a model out of straws. The oldest bell was cast in Erfurt in 1494, probably in the same workshop as the famous " Gloriosa " of Erfurt Cathedral . Their diameter is 91 cm. The inscription reads: “ Help got maria berot. “Since the Restoration in 1862, the interior of the church has been friendly, uniform and dignified, if a little sober. There are two regular basket arch windows on the north and south sides. The cemetery is a little away from the church on Weiraer Weg. The small chapel has a roof turret provided with an octagonal tail dome and dates from 1883.

Pond area

The “Dreba – Plothener – Teichgebiet” finally protected as a nature reserve in 2000 is one of the scenic and natural history pearls of the Thuringian Slate Mountains / Obere Saale Nature Park. The largest contiguous pond area in Thuringia is a wetland that is unique in Thuringia and significant in Europe, not only because of its diversity and its beauty. In addition to the extremely interesting bird life, the area is also characterized by many rare animal and plant species. For example, the tree frog and the crested newt are two particularly protected amphibian species. The small water lily has an important distribution focus throughout Germany in the extensively used ponds. This is one of the last places of refuge for the endangered moor frog. Before human influence, the vegetation was mainly determined by dense alder swamp and alder swamp forests. The spruce, which dominates today, was rare at that time, apart from pronounced ridges. At higher altitudes there were fir forests, including beeches, some spruces and oaks. Over the centuries, the water landscape has changed again and again. The remnants of abandoned ponds can still be recognized today through depressions, willow bushes, sedges or remnants of decayed ponds and dams. By and large, the landscape profile can be characterized as a close interlocking of open water areas, shallow water zones and siltation areas with forests, fields, ponds and meadows, between which remains of scrub forest vegetation, small flat and intermediate moor areas and wet meadows are interspersed. The ponds are valuable nutrient-poor and moderately nutrient-rich, alkaline-poor standing waters, which, with their silted vegetation and bog formation, are now very rare habitats for birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and plants. Only here are endangered or endangered species such as moor frog, tree frog, white and black stork, wedge-spotted dragonfly, banded darter or mildew so common. The large-scale agricultural and forestry areas of the region are interrupted by a very humid local climate (microclimate). That is why there are many species in the pond area that are used to a rain-rich subatlantic and thus western European climate. These include deer elder, fox's ragwort, resin bedstraw and the southern water hose, a "carnivorous plant described in more detail below." In this subatlantic environment, species that are normally distributed from Mecklenburg via Brandenburg to Niederlausitz also thrive.

Desolation

Where the road to Weira reaches its highest point, a village called "Schierlitz" with a provost office of the Saalfeld monastery was located a long time ago instead of today's elevated reservoir. When the provost moved his seat to Ziegenrück and a parish church was built in Weira, Neunhofen and Weira received the income associated with the provost instead of Schierlitz and the place died. The history cannot be documented. Remnants of the wall can still be seen on the left of the road from Knau to Dreba at the level of the basins of the fishing farm. The "Hendelsmühle", built in 1753, was located there. The water mill was fed directly by Hendelsteichabfluss and Drebabach. The Kolmesbach forms its inlet from the Kolmse area, namely derived from the Sorbian "Kholm" hill. The mill only stopped working after the Second World War and was demolished in 1968/69. Between the villages of Plothen and Linda lies the Büchigt with a pond, the so-called Hiel-, Hollen- or Höllenteich. Legend has it that the sunken “village of blood” rests beneath its deep black waters. Bells, coming from deep inside the earth, should echo across the hallway at certain times. This is the place where it is “not right.” Nobody liked to pass there at night. Documentary evidence of this legendary desert has not yet been found. The Hielteich is only a few 100 meters from the highest point of the plateau (511 m). The suspicion of a pre-Christian reference to Frau Holle and the underworld arises here. Perhaps the area mentioned in 1817, "Wüsten Blöthe", refers to the former village of Blut.

traffic

The Dreba stop was on the now disused Triptis – Marxgrün line . The closest operational train station is Neustadt an der Orla on the Gera – Saalfeld line , which is served hourly by regional trains of the Erfurt Railway .
