Circular hike - Rennsteig - Werra bank in Hörschel - Thuringian Forest

The Rennsteig in the Thuringian Forest offers many historical and cultural sights. It stretches over 169 km from Hörschel near Eisenach to Blankenstein in the northern Franconian Forest. Along the ridge path, we experience the natural beauty of the low mountain range. The Rennsteig has existed since the Middle Ages and originally marked the border of the Duchy of Franconia to the Landgraviate of Thuringia. Even today, historic border stones can be found along the Rennsteig, marking the border path since the 16th century.

On the hiking trail, which has been awarded the German Hiking Association's Premium Seal “Wanderbares Deutschland”, we experience dreamlike views of the Wartburg, pristine nature, and steep ascents, for example to the Beerberg, with spectacular views.
