At this point, the Rennsteig was interrupted during the German division for many years. The erected sign reminds that it was reopened in 1990 officially over the entire length.

It is a little confusing at first for the Rennsteig hiker.
Here, coming from the east, the state border between the Free States of Thuringia and Bavaria is crossed for the first time.
Shortly afterwards, this happens twice more, which is simply due to the border.

Blackboard to commemorate the reopening of the Rennsteig on 28.04.1990.

A place steeped in history. Here in the vicinity, star hikers from east and west opened the border fortifications in 1990 that cut through the Rennsteig. This is where the Rennsteig Cycle Path and the Green Belt meet. Spechtsbrunn and Tettau are not far away.
