In the middle of the Reinsbergen, above the village of Reinsfeld, is almost forgotten the "tourist hut locomotive Arnstadt".
"The small brick house - today the new hiking trail" From Bach to Goethe "between Arnstadt and Ilmenau leads right past it - was once a hiking hut, without water and electricity but with the possibility to sleep on certain occasions beer and food were brought up, partly in a basket. 'When the beer was up, the trumpet was called in. My great-grandmother told a lot about it,' says Yvonne Voigt a pig was slaughtered and fresh sausages were carried up the mountain. "
For example, the Thuringian Allgemeine reported on the building a while ago, and also that it has been kept in the meantime by the Reinsfeld Cultural Association. Source: geocaching.com/geocache/GC3XE76_wipfratalblick-an-der-lok-hutte?guid=25183d29-8d69-4868-8945-8c95a2e18133

The dry toilet behind the mountain hut is now also available to hiking groups without renting the hut. Please request in advance via schutzhuette-reinsfeld@gmx.de.
