Here you can relax. That's why the place is not called that way. The name goes back to the coachmen who once maneuvered their heavy wagons over the Rennsteig. Here, the poor horses were stretched out briefly, so they could rest a bit. For the perfect break refreshment, the Werra spring can provide a bit further, bubbling fresh from a snapdragon, before splashing on the way to the Weser. If you fancy a night in the nature boy style: The small hut offers sufficient protection.

Yes, you can relax here. In historical times, the horses that had been harnessed before the steep ascent to the ridge were unharnessed here. Therefore the name. From here you continue to the Werraquelle or the Eselsberg, if you want, turn off in the direction of Goldisthal beforehand.
