Gate to the Rennsteig Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

Cozy inn where you can dine as well as stay overnight. Located directly on the Rennsteig and the Werra-Burgen-Steig, but also worth it for hikers who plan day trips through the Thuringian Forest around Eisenach.

Nice after-work round after work via the oil mill in Kratzerode (bought linseed oil) further on the Werratal cycle path in the direction of home.
