Our stopover-break-slow motion stage. Many resting places, observation towers and shelters, which protected us well during the short rain showers. A highlight was the Struth-Helmershof mountain guard hut with a stamp point and snacks. A true feel-good place, which opened when the flag was raised. Incidentally

Unbelievable what the storm on 08/18/26 caused in the Gotha district and surrounding communities. But cleanup is already underway everywhere in the forests, the paths are passable.
On the route, two snack bars were open, but the inns were not.

The stage leads over the highest peaks of the Rennsteig - the Großer Beerberg, Schneekopf (we won't make the detour), but instead a detour to the Großer Finsterberg with a viewing tower and stamp point and a view of the Eisenberg.
Scenically, probably the most beautiful of our four stages. Wonderful forest
