    Hiking

    The Rennsteig is an approximately 170 km long ridge trail and a historic border trail in the Thuringian Forest, Thuringian Slate Mountains and Franconian Forest.
    It is also the oldest and, with around 100,000 hikers annually, the most popular long-distance hiking trail in Germany.
    It begins in the Eisenach district of Hörschel on the banks of the Werra and ends in Blankenstein (Rosenthal am Rennsteig) at the Selbitzbrücke.
    Its signpost is a white R.
