This is where the Rennsteig Alternative Route (blue "R") begins - the original Rennsteig runs for the next 8 km along the busy Frankenwaldhochstrasse.
The alternative route (about 1.5 km longer) is therefore highly recommended.

The alternative route with the blue R is very nice overall, but in addition to beautiful paths there are also long gravel roads.
Today, however, a whole section was pretty battered.

The alternative offer is quite nice, but makes little sense if it is torn apart by the tree movers. When it rains, you practically only have to choose between plague and cholera
