    Tips

    Did you know that there were volcanoes in the Thuringian Forest? There was! The Great Beerberg was once one. These are the remnants of it and at 982.9 meters they are still impressively high - the Great Beerberg is the highest elevation of Thuringia. At the top is a rare bog, part of the biosphere reserve Vessertal-Thuringian Forest and so strictly protected that you must not enter it. After all, the Rennsteig is close by and, with a maximum height of 973 meters, is not bad either.

      Very nice view of Suhl from the tower.
