Arnstadt & Plaue

Includes: Arnstadt, Plaue, Stadtilm

Arnstadt is one of Germany's oldest towns and forms the northern gateway to the Thuringian Forest. The compact old town is easy to explore with a dog, surrounded by quiet forest trails that lead directly into nature. Nearby Plaue and the peaceful valleys towards Stadtilm offer simple, relaxed walks — ideal for less active dogs or a gentle stopover.
