Rosenkopf (938 m) – Boundary Stones on the Rennsteig

Highlight • Historical Site

Here you can find a lot of information about the history of the boundary stones and thus also about the origins of the Rennsteig.

Plänckner's viewpoint (Großer Beerberg)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Did you know that there were volcanoes in the Thuringian Forest? There was! The Great Beerberg was once one. These are the remnants of it and at 982.9 meters they are still impressively high - the Great Beerberg is the highest elevation of Thuringia. At the top is a rare bog, part of the biosphere reserve Vessertal-Thuringian Forest and so strictly protected that you must not enter it. After all, the Rennsteig is close by and, with a maximum height of 973 meters, is not bad either.

Highest Point of the Rennsteig

Highlight • Summit

The highest point is a must when you are in the vicinity. An even better view is only a few meters further along the path along the viewing platform.

Schneekopf Summit and Observation Tower (Thuringia Stamp Point No. 68)

Highlight • Summit

At 978 meters, the Schneekopf is the second highest elevation in Thuringia after the Großer Beerberg (983 meters). From here you can enjoy magnificent views all around. Visiting the top of the tower is the only way to exceed 1,000 meters in the Thuringian Forest.
