커스도르프‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

The Eisfelder Ausspanne, located deep in the heart of the Thuringian Forest, is a truly idyllic resting place for hikers and nature lovers. This hiking highlight, surrounded by dense forest and rich history, is a perfect place for a well-deserved break. When I visited the Eisfelder Ausspanne, I was immediately captured by the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the place. The refuge offers shelter and an opportunity to take a break, while the well-preserved "mile block" tells a piece of the place's history. The name “Ausspanne” derives from the tradition of unharnessing the horses here during the difficult crossing of the Thuringian forest ridge. The Eisfelder Ausspanne is an important crossroads on the Rennsteig and offers hikers various route options. Whether you come from Masserberg or Waffenrod or visit the Werraquelle - this place is an ideal starting or finishing point for numerous hikes. The space itself is equipped with many benches and tables, making it an inviting place for a longer rest. Here you can relax, enjoy the silence of the forest and strengthen yourself for the rest of your journey. It is also a popular meeting point for hikers who come here to exchange experiences and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

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 Eisfelder Ausspanne is a large crossroads with a refuge.

Once you have climbed the tower you will find that it was worth it. You can see all the prominent elevations, such as the Gleichberge, the Straufhain, the Bleßberg, the Veste Coburg and many more. Even the Rhön is clearly visible. The upper reservoir of Goldisthal can also be seen. The weather has to be right. Definitely worth it.

The ascent is rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view all the way to the Rhön.

Yes, you can relax here. In historical times, the horses that had been harnessed before the steep ascent to the ridge were unharnessed here. Therefore the name. From here you continue to the Werraquelle or the Eselsberg, if you want, turn off in the direction of Goldisthal beforehand.

Has the charm of a war memorial, only with eternal water instead of an eternal flame.

Nice rest stop to stay near Masserberg
