Just before Ilmenau, on the section of the Ilm Cycle Path along the former Langewiesen railway line, this rest area with a covered picnic hut invites you to take a relaxing break. Benches and a table are available here – ideal for a quick snack in the shade before heading into town. A perfect stopover for cyclists and hikers looking to enjoy the last few meters to Ilmenau.

Very beautiful castle...I think you could also eat and get married here...is that still the case?

I always enjoy coming here…

Freight trains avoid this route because it's too steep. Therefore, it's not profitable.

The Neue Gehlberger Hütte is located on the 978-meter-high Schneekopf mountain and is the highest-altitude serviced hut in Thuringia. It offers a cozy hiking hostel with shared rooms and a restaurant serving traditional Thuringian cuisine. Opening Hours: The restaurant is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. – longer in summer. Breakfast for guests is served from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Beautiful view of the castle.

There is also another shelter nearby

Pure nature and a beautiful view. But even here you can see a lot of beetle infestation 🥺
