Plänckners Aussicht

Here you can have a wonderful picnic. You have a fantastic view of Suhl, if the weather is fine, of course a lot further. The observation tower is also popular

The highest (970 m) and at the same time one of the most beautiful viewpoints directly on the Rennsteig, above the city of Suhl, where the Rennsteig reaches its highest point (973 m), bears the name of the "inventor" of the Rennsteig hike. The path runs here on the south side of the Großer Beerberg just below the summit, the highest in the Thuringian Forest (982 m), which in turn does not offer any noteworthy views, but is nevertheless of great value as a protected moor biotope.

In the foreground are Heidersbach and Goldlauter and the district-free city of Suhl (one of 13 district capitals in GDR times), enclosed on both sides by steep mountains (to the right of Domberg with the Bismarck Tower, to the left of Ringberg and Döllberg), in the background with good visibility you can look up to the Rhön and far in the direction of Coburg.

An annotated panorama picture is attached to the wooden viewing platform for orientation. It comes from Roland Kastner from the Suhl local group of the Rennsteig Association.

A magnificent view in the appropriate weather.

The highest (970 m) vantage point on the Rennsteig is 1.3 km from the "Ausspanne" car park. The square bears the name of the "inventor" of the Rennsteig hike - Julius von Plänckner. An annotated panorama picture is attached to the wooden viewing platform for orientation.

My tip: take your time. Don't forget your binoculars and just enjoy them ...

Nice view ... just enjoy

There is probably not much to say here, except: Take a break and let your mind wander

Highest mountain in Thuringia with a free observation tower.

Very nice vantage point with a successful lookout tower

Very nice resting place with a great view!

Wonderful view. From the tower you can look over the treetops. Tower, floor and steps made of lattice.
In front of it is a very nice rest area with 2 groups of tables.

Magnificent view of the Thuringian Forest. Dress warm in the wind, it blows pretty cold here sometimes :-)

at the highest point of the trip a great view

The highest (970 m) and at the same time one of the most beautiful vantage points directly on the Rennsteig, above the town of Suhl, where the Rennsteig reaches its highest point (973 m), bears the name of the "inventor" of the Rennsteig hike.
