    Tips

    The Plateauweg is probably the original Rennsteig between Spechtsbrunn and Brand. It is a little shorter than the currently marked course of the Rennsteig. You can combine the Plateauweg with the current Rennsteig to form a small Brander Rundweg and visit the Clemens Mayer Hütte above Spechtsbrunn.

    The landscape on the plateau has completely changed in 2020 and 2022. Almost the entire spruce forest was cut down because of dried up trees and bark beetle infestation. Heather grass now dominates the picture. Suddenly you have very good prospects, for example to the north to the Leipzig Tower. The wind exposure has increased significantly.

    You can actually save yourself the forest path, because you can follow the plateau path very nicely to Brand.

      Completely different from the rest of the landscape on the Rennsteig
