The Selbitzplatz in Blankenstein is an important hiking base and is often referred to as the "hub of hiking." Several well-known long-distance hiking trails converge here, including the Rennsteig, the Kammweg, the Frankenweg, and the Franconian Mountain Trail.

A special highlight at the Selbitzplatz is the Rennsteigschuh (Rennsteig Shoe) – an oversized sculpture in the shape of a hiking boot with an integrated slide. This unique play structure was specially developed for the Rennsteig and offers young hikers a great opportunity to climb and play.

The Selbitzplatz is a real hub for hiking. Four great long-distance hikes end or start here: The Rennsteig - marked with an R, the Kammweg - marked with a K, the Frankenweg - marked with an F and the Franconian Mountain Trail - marked with a G. Have fun on your hikes and adventures!
