The Rennsteig is the oldest and most well-known long-distance hiking trail in Germany. It runs for exactly 169.3 kilometers from Hörschel near Eisenach to Blankenstein.

The trail over the ridge of the Thuringian Forest was once an important trade route for merchants and couriers, as well as a border crossing.

To the left and right of the Rennsteig, historic residential towns, traditional villages, and small mountain villages await your exploration and look forward to welcoming you as their guests. To ensure you don't miss anything, a total of 40 "Rennsteig ladders" offer sights of interest in the immediate vicinity. Following the signs from this Rennsteig gateway, you will eventually reach the town gates in Suhl-Goldlauter and Heidersbach.
