Roth Reservoir II

Highlight • Lake

Very nice corner, from there you can see the Kleiner Gleichberg well, which can be another destination. The lake is often used for swimming, although it is forbidden in some places. It's always a good place to stay or have a picnic.

Steinsburg on Kleiner Gleichberg

Highlight • Historical Site

St. Michael's Chapel was once located on the plateau of the Kleiner Gleichberg near Römhild. It was a pilgrimage chapel first mentioned around 1517. Its history dates back to the 8th/9th century. Its hall church was probably built in the 12th century, although only the foundations remain today. The mountain was already a fortified Celtic settlement (Steinsburg) in pre-Christian times, and the chapel was later built on the sacred site, which was partially destroyed by basalt mining.

View of Großer Gleichberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Direct view of the Großer Gleichberg, although it appears smaller from this vantage point.

From the stone plateau on the summit of the Kleiner Gleichberg, you can enjoy, especially in winter, a good panoramic view of the Thuringian Forest, the distant Rhön Mountains, the Haßberge Mountains, the Straufhain Castle ruins, and Coburg Fortress, among other things. In summer, the view is partially obscured depending on the direction and the foliage.

Römhild Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Römhild is probably the oldest place in what is now the state of Thuringia. It was probably first mentioned in 150 AD by the Greek mathematician and philosopher Claudius Ptolemy as the Celtic Oppidum Bikourgion.[2] The region around Römhild had been permanently settled by people since around 2500 BC. Celtic influences can be seen there since around the 5th century BC. Remains of an oppidum of around 68 hectares can be found on the nearby Steinsburg.

1. The town of Römhild received market rights from the emperor in 1498, and lively trading activity can be traced back even earlier. The town offered 3 areas for annual and weekly markets, namely the market square, the pottery market and the livestock market. The number of markets held in the 18th century was considerable. In addition to the weekly markets, 8 annual markets and 4 livestock markets took place each year. Since 1842, Römhild has had 2 wool markets in addition to the 13 livestock markets. At the sheep markets, which have been held since 1840, up to 3,000 animals were sometimes on offer. The chapter and church fair market was primarily the pottery market. This seems to be one of the oldest, and can be traced back to 1450. Younger, however, is the “COLD MARKET”, which was first held in 1800. Designated as a flea and pigeon market, this one in particular has preserved its tradition to the present day, despite the cold season.

Gleichamberg Circular Trail

Highlight • Trail

There is a very beautiful circular path around Gleichamberg. Coming from Simmershausen, you first reach the rest hut. From there, you continue straight on around Gleichamberg to the driveway of the Großer Gleichberg. In between, there are always beautiful views directly onto Gleichamberg. The church comes more into view.

View of Großer Gleichberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here, just before Gleichamberg, you can see the Großer Gleichberg. At 679 m above sea level, the Großer Gleichberg is the higher and southern of the two Gleichbergs east of Römhild in the Grabfeld region in the Hildburghausen district, in the Franconian part of Thuringia. It was formed in the tertiary volcanic field of the Heldburger Gangschar and is its highest witness today.
And you simply have to be up there at least once.
