It's nice that this information panel serves as a reminder. Fischbach was and is a wonderful little town. Of course, there used to be much more going on, not least because of the open-air theater.

A local fan lives there. 🫶💚

A bench invites you to take a break and enjoy the magnificent view of the Inselsberg mountain. 👀🤩

Here, where the Großer Inselsberg mountain rises majestically and prominently from the Thuringian Forest, lies the village of Winterstein, with its long tradition of tourism, nestled amidst the mountains on the northwestern side of the massif. Surrounded by dense coniferous and deciduous forests, this charming village of nearly 1,000 inhabitants stretches along the road leading to the Rennsteig hiking trail. Winterstein was first documented in 1246 and is closely associated with the von Wangenheim family. The ensemble of castle ruins, bailiff's residence, manor houses, moat, and the castle park with its buildings still bears witness to this history in the village center. Winterstein became world-famous as the origin of the saying: "This is where the dog is buried." The eponymous dog grave is located in the castle park below the castle ruins.

The Emse River The Emse is a roughly 14 km long, left-bank tributary of the Hörsel River. It originates from several headstreams along the Rennsteig trail in the Thuringian Forest between the Gerberstein and the Großer Inselsberg mountains. The westernmost of these headstreams is called the Kroatengrund, the central one the Schnabelwasser, and the easternmost the Bratpfannengraben and its shorter right tributary, the Ländersgraben, are considered the main headstreams. The combined stream flows northwest through Winterstein, then leaves the Thuringian Forest via a meadow valley and skirts the village of Schwarzhausen to the southeast. The Emse then flows for about 2 km through a partly narrow, wooded valley, past the settlement of Sondra, and finally empties into the Hörsel at Sättelstädt. The Emse is considered the main headstreams. The difference in elevation between the source (703 m above sea level) and the mouth (260 m above sea level) is therefore 443 m. After the Emse flows into the Hörsel (55.2 km), it empties into the Werra (299.6 km long) approximately 10 km further west, just past Eisenach in the town of Hörschel. The Werra then joins the Fulda (220.7 km) at the Weserstein in Hann. Münden to form the Weser. The Weser flows for 492 km before emptying into the North Sea at the old lighthouse near Bremerhaven.

A beautifully situated pond just outside Schnepfenthal. A great spot for sunrise photos. A walk around it (it doesn't take long) offers beautiful views toward Gotha and the Thuringian Forest.

A great rock formation.👍🏻
