The Rennsteiglied is in Thuringia and beyond well-known three-strophic Wanderlied. The text is by Karl "Kaschi" Müller (1925-2011), the music of Herbert Roth (1926-1983).

The song is about the connection to Thuringia, its nature and the experiences of hiking on the Rennsteig and was on April 14, 1951 in the community hall (today: "Hotel and Gasthof zum Goldenen Hirsch") of Hirschbach Suhl by Herbert Roth and Waltraut Schulz ( 1930-2017) first sung in public. The song begins with the following verses:

I like to wander the country on the Rennsteig,
the bag on his back, the gun in his hand.

The Rennsteiglied is considered the "secret national anthem of Thuringia". It is more well-known than the actual Thuringian hymn Thuringia, lovely country.
