This cozy mountain hotel, located on the Rennsteig hiking trail in the Thuringian Forest, is just a 5-minute walk from Reinhardsbrunn-Friedrichroda train station and 1.6 km from Reinhardsbrunn Castle. The hotel itself offers plenty of leisure activities, including an outdoor pool, an indoor pool (with several 25-meter lanes, very well-maintained and clean), an outdoor playground, an indoor playground, table tennis, a cinema, and more.

A beautifully situated pond just outside Schnepfenthal. A great spot for sunrise photos. A walk around it (it doesn't take long) offers beautiful views toward Gotha and the Thuringian Forest.

The upper Cumbach pond has a sickle shape and a dam separates the two ponds.

- here is the “heart” of the Zöglingsweg - There are always quite interesting exhibitions to be seen in the sports hall - lots of replica sports equipment from Guthsmuth's time, which you can try out
