    Mountain biking

    The highest point is a must when you are in the vicinity. An even better view is only a few meters further along the path along the viewing platform.

    A must if you drive the Rennsteig.

    Hiking

    You can easily reach this highlight on foot from two parking lots. Either you decide for the Suhler Hütte, see refuge Adler (1.2 kilometers) or for the somewhat closer parking space Suhler Ausspanne (1.1 kilometers). The highest point of the Rennsteig is less spectacular than you think. Finally, it is marked by a hollow pole. Nevertheless, its signage and the Rennsteig "R" are always worth a photo.
