Trail - "36" - Friedrichroda - Thuringian Forest
Whether you want to take it easy or really speed up: Trail 36 is the all-round trail!
You can park your car directly at Heuberghaus or arrive by bus! You start the route directly at the parking lot via Buchenjohn - a magnificent beech forest to the castle path. Then continue to the mountain inn Tanzbuche and from there to Prinz-Andreas-Eck. Here you have reached the Rennsteig, the famous ridge trail of the Thuringian Forest. You reach your starting point via the long-distance ski trail Rennsteig. At the latest here you should stop at Heuberghaus.
Author’s recommendation
If you still feel like it, we recommend a short detour to the Spiessberghaus and then to the bobsleigh and luge track Friedrichroda. It is the only natural ice track in Germany still used for competitions.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
