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.

Imposing and monumental, “forest rescuers” were still honored back then

Explorer of the Thuringian Forest. In 1829 he undertook the first continuous hike along the Rennsteig.

You can't get more nature than on the 170km long Rennsteig. There are also a number of raised bogs to see.

The Neue Gehlberger Hütte is open Thursday to Monday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday are rest days. I can only recommend taking a break here. The offer is very good. The proximity to the parking facility at the Güldenen Brücke causes a large number of visitors, mostly on weekends and when the weather is nice.

Here at 978 m you have a really great all-round view of other peaks in the Thuringian Forest and the Rhön, up to the Ettersberg near Weimar and Oberhof. With very good visibility, such as winter inversion weather conditions, the view extends to the Brocken in the Harz Mountains, to the Schneeberg (Fichtelgebirge) and to the western Ore Mountains. You can also see the “Wilde Gera” (A 71) motorway bridge, the largest arched bridge in Germany with a span of 252 m. https://schneekopf.eu/ And if you want, you can crack the 1000 meter mark here on the observation tower for three euros. Diligence also has its price.

Very nice vantage point with a successful lookout tower

This rest area is located to the right of the road in the direction of the hike. Here is a large crossroads with signs for various hiking trails. The Rennweg runs here via a bridge over Zellaer Strasse, where there is an obelisk. This point is also shown as a roundabout (in hiking maps). During the rest you can take a look at the forest workers monument. It is in honor of the people who, through hard work, saved the Middle Thuringian Forest after a windbreak in 1945 and the bark beetle plague of 1947-49.
