March 16, 2026, Hohleborn Rest Area on the Mommelstein Cycle Path at Hundsrück

At the Hohleborn stop there is now a rest area with a view into the Schmalkalde valley, towards Floh-Seligenthal.

Rest stop at a hairpin bend on the cycle path, station entrance. Not much can be made out of the building itself, as a fenced-off industrial area somewhat obstructs the view. From 1946-1990, Kleinschmalkalden was renamed Pappenheim (Ludwig Pappenheim 1887-1934)

Currently, there is a good view from up here of the old railway viaduct over the Schmalkalde and the tunnel portal.

The Neue Hütte is a blast furnace plant dating back to 1835, in which local iron ores were smelted into pig iron on a charcoal basis until 1924.

The Krämerod observation tower is located directly on the Rennsteig trail and offers impressive views over the Thuringian Forest. Although the view may be partially obscured by fast-growing spruce trees, the panoramic view remains worth seeing.
