Grumbach, Bad Langensalza

Grumbach is a village and a quarter of the town of Bad Langensalza in Thuringia, central Germany.

Location
Grumbach lies 5.23 km south-southwest of the spa town of Bad Langensalza (measured from Marktkirche, "market church"). The village's territory, which lies north of the Steinberg (362.1 m above sea level (NN)), forms the connection between the Hainich National Park and the Fahner Höhe together with the Große Harth (367.3 m above sea level (NN)), the Wieglebener Höhe (Teufelsberg at 358 m above sea level (NN)) and the Ascharaer Höhe (312 m above sea level (NN)). Grumbach is a dead-end village: the only road out of Grumbach leads to the neighbouring village of Henningsleben. A well-maintained agricultural road (Schwichingsweg) leads to the Harthhaus on the Bundesstraße 84, 2.43 km to the west, a former customs house on the border of the districts of Gotha and Unstrut-Hainich and now an excursion destination. Another agricultural road connects the village with Wiegleben, 1.89 km to the south.

History
Grumbach was first mentioned in a document in 1206.

The village was incorporated into Bad Langensalza on 1 April 1993.
