リヒテの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

a really nice place to rest

Sensational ... in summer there are trails for hiking and biking

from here you have a sensational view ... there are paths for hiking and for downhill, if there is snow you can also ski

Small quiet place not far from the hut, recommended if you want it a bit quieter

Fellbergbaude, always fresh drinks in the fridge, very wonderful excursion destination

The Fellberg, majestically towering over the town of Steinach in the Sonneberg district, is a true natural paradise for hikers, mountain bikers and skiers. At 842 metres high, it offers breathtaking views and a wealth of outdoor activities in the Thuringian Slate Mountains. When I visited the Fellberg, I was immediately impressed by its impressive landscape and the variety of opportunities it offers. The mountain, which forms part of the Thuringian Slate Mountains, rises a good 300 metres above Steinach and, together with the neighbouring Breitenberg, forms a horseshoe shape open to the south. This allows for a comfortable hike from one peak to the other. The Fellbergbaude, located close to the ski slope, is an ideal place to take a rest. With its wonderful views, it is a popular meeting point for hikers and skiers. In winter, the Fellberg is transformed into Thuringia's largest ski area, the Silbersattel Ski Arena, and offers excellent conditions for skiers and cross-country skiers. The Fellberg is a true paradise for mountain bikers and downhill athletes. Thuringia's largest and first bike park offers optimal conditions here. The double chairlift takes cyclists and their bikes comfortably to the Fellberg plateau, where they can choose from a variety of downhill runs with different levels of difficulty. There are suitable routes for families and beginners as well as professional bikers. The Fellberg is also historically interesting. The largest stone quarries in the world are located on the southern foothills of the mountain at Geiersberg. These historic quarries give the region a unique cultural significance.

This is a special point! Three large river systems meet here. However, this is not unique in Germany. I liked the design of the place.

The sign for the Rennsteig is of course impossible to miss... The Steinheider Hut also offers the opportunity to rest and is an attractive starting point for hikes... towards the reservoir, the beautiful view of the forest disappears here too - more and more 😔
