Huts and shelters in Thuringian Forest

Thuringian Forest Hideaways

This collection traverses the high ridges of the Thuringian Forest, focusing on the historic Rennsteig trail and the peaks around Ilmenau and Gehlberg. It highlights literary landmarks like the Goethehäuschen, where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe composed his famous night songs, and the Schneekopf's high-altitude Neue Gehlberger Hütte. These sites range from simple wooden shelters and observation points like Plänckners Aussicht to traditional mountain "Bauden" and beer gardens serving regional Thuringian sausages.
