알슈타트 최고의 사이클링 경로

Many beautiful half-timbered houses can be found here in the Werra town of Themar.

There are some of them here.

There is also a small covered seating area and an information board here. From here you can go towards Sommerberg, Steinige Bössel, the Teichbaude near Suhl and many other destinations. The surrounding area could be better maintained, but this is probably due to the felling work currently taking place.

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.

You reach this place on the Dolmar-Rennsteig trail and yes, the view is, as described, great. The Gleichberge are clearly visible as the most prominent elevation, and the reason for this is well known. So here joy and sorrow lie close together, literally speaking.
