This is where the Rennsteig begins. Take a stone and throw it into the Selbitz in Blankenstein. It is best to arrive the day before, spend the night in the Pension Tor zum Rennsteig and start after a good breakfast.

it is the beginning of one of the most beautiful hiking and biking trails in Thuringia, maybe also in Germany.

I packed a little stone 👍 don't forget it too 😊

At the gate to the Rennsteig, go through the courtyard to the back of the Werraufer. You'll also get a stamp in your book 📖
