Waldgasthaus Ruhlaer Skihütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Here you can sit well for a break but you also wait a bit for the food especially when a cargo bus tourists was distributed. Next to the falconry is also worth seeing.

The island mountain near Bad Tabarz is a kind of sacred ground for mountain bike downhill riders. Because here took place 25 years ago (as of 2018) the first downhill race in Germany. Although a bit different than we know it today - a typical death-descent downhill track from that time would probably no longer worry even a marathon bikers worry lines on the forehead. But at that time it was blatant, what started up here on Inselsberg and today can be driven down to Bad Tabarz as a fun trail. By the way: There is still a downhill race here, but thanks to the new route, it has a lot to offer.
