Jena

Culture, History and Beautiful Surroundings

Jena is worth a visit!
Jena is embedded in a picturesque landscape on the river Saale, surrounded by charming shell limestone slopes. The JenTower rises up above the middle of the city center, and its viewing platform offers the most beautiful view over Jena and its surroundings. Tourist highlights such as the Zeiss Planetarium, the Botanical Garden or the Schillerhaus are within walking distance. The multifaceted history of the city is best revealed to visitors on a guided tour. For hikers, a trip to the SaaleHorizontale, the attractive ridgeway hiking trail that leads around the city’s perimeter, is very worthwhile.
