Geographically, Großenstein is located in the middle of Germany and is surrounded by picturesque forests and hills. The town itself has a rich history and is often referred to as the gateway to the Thuringian Forest.

Tourist attractions include Großenstein Castle, which is situated on a rock above the river, and the town church with its impressive bell tower. Cultural highlights can be experienced in the local museum or you can take part in the numerous festivals such as the music festival "Rock am Schloss".

Culinary specialities abound in this region: Be sure to try the famous Thuringian Rostbratwurst or enjoy a cool beer from one of the local breweries.

For outdoor activities, the nearby Thuringian Forest is particularly suitable with its hiking and cycling routes as well as opportunities for skiing in winter. In summer, the idyllic mountain lake also beckons you to swim and relax.

Even if it rains, there is plenty to do: Visit one of the many museums or take a tour of a local brewery - here you can learn all about traditional beer production!

    Es gab tatsächlich einige schöne Gärten zu besichtigen. Zwei Abschnitte der Route (gleich zu Beginn (Stolzenberg Waldstück Richtung Beerwalde und Gera Waldweg Richtung „Am Zaufensgraben“) sind mit normalem Rad kaum zu befahren. Da braucht es schon ein stabiles MTB oder Treckingrad mit fetten Reifen. Die „Neue Landschaft Ronneburg“ ist ein Highlight der Route. Reichlich Rastmöglichkeiten sind an der Strecke. Also Proviant einpacken! Gastro ist so gut wie nicht vorhanden.
