Frankenblick is known for its historical sights such as Bertholdsburg Castle or the German Toy Museum, which is one of the largest of its kind. The Thuringian Forest Nature Park with its numerous hiking and cycling trails also attracts many visitors every year.

A cultural highlight is undoubtedly the annual Sonneberg town festival, which offers music, dancing and culinary delicacies from the region. For lovers of handicrafts, a visit to the Christmas market in Sonneberg is worthwhile, where traditional wood carvings and other handicrafts are on offer.

Culinary delights the region has much to offer: Be sure to try the famous Thuringian bratwurst or enjoy a fresh beer from one of the local breweries.

For outdoor activities, summer is particularly suitable with its mild temperatures for hiking or cycling through the Thuringian Forest. In winter, skiers and snowboarders can hone their skills on the nearby slopes.

But even if it should rain, there are plenty of options for leisure activities: the Saaletalbad in Saalfeld offers an indoor pool as well as a slide for water rats, and the toy museum in Sonneberg is worth a visit even in bad weather.

Where is it most beautiful in Frankenblick, Sonneberg? That's hard to say - the region has so much to offer! Whether it's historical sights, cultural highlights or outdoor activities, a visit to Frankenblick, Sonneberg is definitely worth the trip.

    Schöne Runde mit teilweise steilem An-/Abstieg im Bereich des Parkplatzes Krummer Stein, von wo aus ich auch gestartet bin. Ich bin die Runde gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gegangen. Je nach Jahreszeit gibt es hier einiges am Wegesrand zu entdecken. Am Generalsblick hat man eine gute Aussicht auf den Muppberg und kann auf einen der Sitzmöglichkeiten rasten. Auch der Taubelsberg bietet eine herrlich Aussicht. Nicht nur auf den Muppberg, auch der Bleßberg ist zu sehen.

    Es ging schon ein paar Höhemmeter bergauf, jedoch war der single-track so interessant, abgeschieden und einfach nur schön, dass das gar nicht auffiel. Die fehlenden Bäume auf der Höhe sorgten für Ausblicke, der Forstweg ist etwas suboptimal. Alles in allem eine Tour, die ich bedenkenlos weiterempfehle.

    Wir sind nicht die ganze Strecke gelaufen. Gestartet sind wir an der Fischer's Ruh Richtung Brüx runter nach Ketschenbach und wieder zurück zur Fischer's Ruh. Eine sehr schöne Strecke, gut ausgeschildert (bis auf einen Punkt, an der Kreuzung in Brüx da wäre ein NE13 Schild gut angebracht. Denn der blaue Punkt ist schnell übersehen da.) Hatte Richtig Spaß gemacht diese Runde zulaufen.

    Ich bin diese Tour als Trail-Run gelaufen. Wunderschöne Runde auf einsamen Pfaden, die ich ohne die GPX-Daten aus der Tourbeschreibung nicht entdeckt hätte. Herzlichen Dank an den Autor!

    Schöne Tour. Wir haben eine Verbesserung anzubieten. Gehen Sie ab der Tourist-Info die Strasse Herrenwiesenweg geradeaus bis zum Ende und steigen Sie dann den Hügel zur Burgruine Schaumberg empor. Es lohnt sich wirklich.
