One of my most beautiful hikes in the Thuringian Forest. The old Oberhof bobsleigh track on the Wadeberg is interesting. More than 100 years ago it was the fastest bobsleigh run in the world. You can walk along it and get a rough idea of what the athletes did back then.
Here is a historical video about it.
