Insider tips:

Discover the Rennsteig trail on foot, bike or ski. Take a break at the stone monument “Gloeckner” to enjoy a wonderful view from the Thuringian Forest to Rhoen Mountains. Sitting in a rural restaurant afterwards, you can treat yourself with delicious Thuringian dishes.

Join our night watchman by an evening walk through the historical Köhlergasse. Listen to the interesting stories he knows about the history and figures of Ruhla.
