There it goes up steeply to the right to the Schlotwiese. Continue past the lift and come to a parking lot. I then take the Panoramaweg (or whatever it's called, but a must when the view is clear) over to the Rennsteig and up to the Großer Inselsberg. That seems to me to be more helpful as an inspiration for other hikers or MtB riders.
