The Julius von Plänckner monument in Hörschel (a district of Eisenach) is a protected cultural monument that commemorates the Gotha soldier, cartographer, and road construction engineer Julius von Plänckner (1791–1858). He is considered the founder of the modern, tourist Rennsteig, as in 1829/1830 he measured, mapped, and described the high-level trail for the first time in its entire length in five daily stages.
