Gründlar Playground on the Schleusetal Cycle Path

Highlight • Rest Area

Large playground with reference to the former Gründerla narrow-gauge railway. Good resting place directly on the Schleusetalradweg.

Werra Spring Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The new Gasthaus an der Werraquelle offers more guest comfort than the old version. A nice resting point in the hiking area around the donkey mountain between Masserberg and Fehrenbach. Whether the area has lost to hiking charm through the new building, everyone may decide for themselves.

Eisfelder Resting Place

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Here you can relax. That's why the place is not called that way. The name goes back to the coachmen who once maneuvered their heavy wagons over the Rennsteig. Here, the poor horses were stretched out briefly, so they could rest a bit. For the perfect break refreshment, the Werra spring can provide a bit further, bubbling fresh from a snapdragon, before splashing on the way to the Weser. If you fancy a night in the nature boy style: The small hut offers sufficient protection.

Werra Raft Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Werra River is fed by two springs and flows through Germany's geographical center. A variety of wonderful spots await the leisurely stroller along the riverside paths.

One of these is located here on the way to the Eisfelder Ausspanne (Eisfelder Rest Area). The water is very cold. A seating area is available. From here, several paths lead up towards the Rennsteig Trail. The descent from there leads past the idyllic rafting pond to Sachsenbrunn with its centuries-old dancing linden tree.

The dammed water was once used for floating logs, hence the name.

Rock Cellar at Kirchberg Brünn

Highlight • Cave

Above Brno on the old railway line, hidden in a beech and elm forest, is the Brno Rock Cellar. This was used to store potatoes and beer from what was then the Volk brewery. During the Second World War it served as an air raid shelter.

Gründerla – Old Railway Track Brünn

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The narrow-gauge railway Eisfeld–Schönbrunn was a nearly 18-kilometer-long railway line that connected Eisfeld with the middle Schleusetal valley to the north. Because the terminus was in Schleusegrund, the railway line was also called "Gründerla" by the locals.
