The charcoal kiln hut on the Rennsteig trail in Friedrichshöhe had become dilapidated. Storms, rain, and snow had taken their toll. In the autumn of 2020, the Thuringian Forest Nature Park maintenance team took on its restoration. After it was able to provide a safe haven for hikers again during the winter, the team installed an information panel in 2021 detailing the history of charcoal burning and the historic charcoal kiln sites along the Rennsteig. Visitors can find further information and hiking suggestions in the flyer box.

Replica of a burial piling for charcoal production with information board about the charcoal factory on the Rennsteig. Nice view of Bleßberg and shelter in bad weather.

In the nature park information center below the Meilerhütte there is a small selection of food and drinks with a trusty cash register. Extremely welcome when it's a day off everywhere on the Rennsteig.
