    Hiking

    The well-known Victor-von-Scheffel monument on the Rennsteig was inaugurated on September 20, 1913, at the Dreiherrenstein on the Großer Weißenberg. The poet Joseph Victor von Scheffel (1826–1886) made the high-altitude trail known beyond the region with his poem „Der Rennsteig“ (1863). Further memorial sites and plaques on the Rennsteig also commemorate him.
