Rennsteig Trail Near Neuhaus am Rennweg

Highlight • Trail

After the turn-off from the industrial area onto the forest road, it's a complete disaster. The forest road is paved with fist-sized gravel stones. And that goes over the Werra spring until about 5 km before Eisfeld.

Picnic area near the Rennsteigwarte observation tower

Highlight • Rest Area

One of many opportunities to rest, but the walk to the tower hut is worth it. There's cold beer there.

September 9, 2023,Rennsteig: Von Neuhaus zu den Werraquellen

New tour, new happiness! And new experiences. Today it's an all-round positive: you can (if you're lucky?) take a bike with you on the Franconia-Thuringia Express (RE42) on a Saturday. From Saalfeld the 405 bus with a bicycle trailer took me up to Neuhaus. That was really great.
