A hike on a unique educational trail, where you can follow the trail of different local times from station to station, independent of the currently applied time zone.

The Technical Watch Exhibition Hennig e.V. in the spa town of Hartha created this unique educational trail, where you can follow the trail of different local times and time zones from station to station. Along the way, the unique sun carousel, the exhibition of the watch exhibition in the former municipal office Kurort Hartha, and the flower sundial at the spa square Kurort Hartha invite you to visit. The Technical Watch Exhibition is open every first and third Sunday of the month from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, and also by appointment, gladly with a guided tour. On the return path at the Bell Chair in Kurort Hartha, you can learn why the New Year can be greeted here three times.
