The start of the Rennsteig is somewhat hidden on the banks of the Werra. Access is through the courtyard of the small restaurant "Tor zum Rennsteig". This is open daily (except Tuesdays) from 11 a.m. You can stock up on drinks there if you need them - there are no places to buy drinks along the way until you reach Hohe Sonne.

There is also a small guesthouse here. I cannot give a review as I have never slept there myself. More information at: rennsteig-beginn.de.

St. George's Church (Eisenach)

Highlight • Religious Site

The first mention of the church was in 1196. The Gothic church received its basic appearance in 1515. In it Martin Luther preached at the time of the Reformation, and Johann Sebastian Bach was baptized in it. The tower was added to the church in the Neo-Baroque style in the years 1899-1902.

Eisenach Brewery

Highlight • Structure

With the exception of the Petersberger brewery, the brewery buildings erected between 1825 and 1914 are located in the south of Eisenach. The oldest buildings are the ice cellar, built in 1828, and the three-storey half-timbered building of the malt house, which was built before 1850, probably in 1839.
The listed property of the Eisenach brewery is now used as a climbing park.
