Forest inn "Hubertushaus"

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Cozy location where you can also organize family or Christmas parties. Convenient location right on the Rennsteig and Ruhla or Etterwinden to reach by car, if you are not quite …

Große Meilerstätte

Highlight • Rest Area

In the Middle Ages, the area around the Rennsteig was inhabited by blacksmiths and charcoal burners, and the "Große Meilerstätte" forest town is a reminder of this time.
Crossroads, refuge with stamp office, the Thuringian Forest is also shrinking here

Glöcknerhütte on the Rennsteig

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Super spacious refuge with attention to detail. A table, benches inside, a beautiful view, a candle to light, a hiking book to read and write in. The hut literally screams for cozy evenings!
