    Showing Translation•
    The Rennsteig is a ridge path around 170 km long and a historic border path in the Thuringian Forest, Thuringian Slate Mountains and Franconian Forest. It is also the oldest and, with around 100,000 hikers every year, the most popular long-distance hiking trail in Germany. It begins in the Eisenach district of Hörschel on the banks of the Werra and ends in Blankenstein (municipality of Rosenthal am Rennsteig) at the Selbitz Bridge. Its sign is a white R.
