Suhl

It's hard to get a good picture of Suhl as a whole, because the town is nestled against the southern edge of the heart of the Thuringenwald. The terrain is a lot steeper here than it is around Jena or the Thuringian Basin, so it's hard to get a panaromic view of anything. This photo gives you some idea of it.
