Kulm Bridge

The Kulmbrücke information board “Das Grenzerbuch” tells the story of the discovery of a document at the border. In the 1950s there was a lot of illegal border traffic across the Kulm Bridge.

Today we have planned the Frankenwaldsteigla "Grenzer-Weg".
We started in Carlsgrün, from there we went across the state border to Thuringia, where we briefly ran on the Rennsteig and crossed the Green Belt. From the Rennsteig we could see the Döbraberg, as well as Schneeberg, Ochsenkopf and Kornberg...
At Seibis there were a few obstacles to overcome - here there …

May 21, 2023,FrankenwaldSteigla 🌳🌲 Grenzerweg

Today we started our hike at the oldest inn in the Franconian Forest in the center of Carlsgrün.
Many animal and plant species have survived along the former Iron Curtain. The hiking trail was felt to be 80% gravel. 🫣
Luckily for us, display boards with short explanations on the topics "border", "nature" and "history" appeared again and again. This …

Originally started in Carlsgrün, but we've also added the detour to Bad Steben.

A beautiful loop, lots of nature with beautiful views, but also with many large deforested areas.

At 17.7 kilometers long, the Grenzer Weg is one of the longest Steigla. The starting point is at the Adelskammer in Carlsgrün. Overall, we liked the circular hiking trail; there are some longer sections on somewhat monotonous forest paths, but there are also many beautiful sections through varied areas.

A relatively unspectacular Steigla, but with very varied trails, and the elevation gain is well distributed throughout the entire route. My highlights were the short stretch of the Green Belt and the Rennsteig!

October 3, 2024,FrankenwaldSteigla Grenzer-Weg am „Tag der Deutschen Einheit„ 🚶‍♀️☁️🌧️🌬️

Traditionally, I went to the former border region on "German Unity Day". I chose the Frankenwaldsteigla "Grenzerweg" - it couldn't be more appropriate. A varied and scenic tour that was not spoiled by the bad weather. The entire route is perfectly signposted, there are enough rest areas and a few places to stop for refreshments.

After the last gray Sunday tour on the Saale, today a hike on the former German-German border in Franconia and Thuringia with a cloudless sky. Watchtowers and barbed wire are a thing of the past, only the patrol road and a few information boards are reminiscent of the time of the Iron Curtain. A biotope along the Green Belt has …
