Historic Town Bench on the Ilm-Rennsteig Cycle Path

Highlight • Rest Area

The cycle path was rebuilt when the railway line to Groß Breitenbach was closed. An easy way to drive towards Rennsteig.

Freibachtal Nature Trail

Highlight • Trail

Really great corner, but you shouldn't judge badly about the path, but read the board on the side of the path. This part was left exactly as is for nature conservation reasons. 👍🏻

Source of the Ilm River

Highlight • River

The Ilm, the starting point of the Ilm Cycle Path, is formed by the confluence of the source rivers Lengwitz, Taubach and Freibach. You have to walk down a bit from the bike path to see this.
