The Iron Hand near Altendammbach
Near the Altendambacher Höhe, where the country road, forest and hiking trails meet, hikers or mountain bikers on their way towards Fischbach-Schleusingen pass a multi-armed signpost on which a hand cast from iron points to the sky on a narrow concrete base. Another signpost? A monument?
There is hardly a long-time resident in the surrounding villages who does not know the "Iron Hand" and the forest area up there that is called that and has certainly heard some stories about it; but no one can really explain what this mysterious place and its not exactly everyday feature is all about. - And so there are always inquiries about it.

Everything suggests that the old and early, arduous ascents of the high-altitude trails from the Werra Valley ended here; oxen, mules and horses were changed here before heading back downhill to Suhl and then conquering the Rennsteig via the Suhler Leube. For the descent of the further route to Suhl, the long ridge of the Steingebössel and then the Friedberg were used to reach the Haselfurt on the Kunigundenhügel. On the Pfütschberg, it came across a field site called "Eiserne Hand" for the second time, where farm buildings belonging to Neundorf farmers stood until the first half of the 20th century.
