シュロイジンゲンのおすすめランニングルート

At Schleusingen station, the Friedberg Railway, which was closed in 1997, branches off to Suhl from the Rennsteig Railway, which was also closed in 1998. Interesting special tours occasionally run on both lines. A steam railway enthusiasts' association plans such museum tours. The photo shows a beautiful Class 218 diesel locomotive.

Everything suggests that the old and early, arduous ascents of the high-altitude trails from the Werra Valley ended here; oxen, mules and horses were changed here before heading back downhill to Suhl and then conquering the Rennsteig via the Suhler Leube. For the descent of the further route to Suhl, the long ridge of the Steingebössel and then the Friedberg were used to reach the Haselfurt on the Kunigundenhügel. On the Pfütschberg, it came across a field site called "Eiserne Hand" for the second time, where farm buildings belonging to Neundorf farmers stood until the first half of the 20th century.

The Iron Hand near Altendammbach Near the Altendambacher Höhe, where the country road, forest and hiking trails meet, hikers or mountain bikers on their way towards Fischbach-Schleusingen pass a multi-armed signpost on which a hand cast from iron points to the sky on a narrow concrete base. Another signpost? A monument? There is hardly a long-time resident in the surrounding villages who does not know the "Iron Hand" and the forest area up there that is called that and has certainly heard some stories about it; but no one can really explain what this mysterious place and its not exactly everyday feature is all about. - And so there are always inquiries about it.

Here on the cycle path there is a small rest area with a small spring right next to the lock. If you want to take a quick break, this is the right place for you.

Opportunity to rest and cool off.

very nice rest area to linger 👋👋 Highlight is The Iron Hand 👋👋

The Schleusinger train station is no longer in operation, it also looks a little neglected, but that's something ☝️

Here you will find the old train station of Schleusingen. Unfortunately, the route has been closed for passenger traffic, but it is still used for timber transport.
