If you are in the area, you should definitely not miss the Oberweissbacher mountain railway. On the steepest funicular the train conductor even explains the route. Just great. Worth seeing is definitely the Maschinarium.

Neuhaus am Rennweg

Highlight • Settlement

Neuhaus am Rennweg was the highest district town in the GDR and seems a bit empty today. 🤷‍♂️ You can't really call it a lively center.
The train station is the highest in Thuringia at 830 m.
The wooden town church is interesting.

Geißlerhaus Museum (Birthplace of Heinrich Geißler)

Highlight • Historical Site

Directly on the main street you will find the birthplace of Heinrich Geißler. Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Geißle, born in Igelshieb in 1814 and died in Bonn in 1879, was a German glassblower, instrument maker and inventor of the Geissler tube, a glass low-pressure gas discharge tube, also known today as a fluorescent lamp. Today his birthplace houses a local history and technology museum.

Town Church Neuhaus am Rennweg

Highlight • Religious Site

One of the most beautiful and largest wooden churches in Thuringia, consecrated in 1892. The church was built in the late Gothic style and is entirely covered with slate. Numerous concerts invite you to visit throughout the year. The key to visit the church is available during the opening hours of the tourist information.
