Inmitten tiefer Fichten- und Buchenwälder trifft der Reisende unerwartet auf ein reizvoll gelegenes Anwesen - den Mönchhof. Das heutige Gasthaus wurde auf den Grundmauern einer mittelalterlichen Kapelle erbaut. Es liegt an einem uralten Handelsweg des Thüringer Waldes. Mit der Höhenlage über 754 m NN gilt das Gebiet im Winter als relativ schneesicher.
