Maps and trails
Geographically, Rosa lies between the Rhön and Thuringian Forest mountains. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills and picturesque river valleys. Particularly beautiful are the vantage points on the Rennsteig as well as the view from the Inselsberg.

Touristically relevant are above all the numerous sights in the region. One highlight is certainly Wilhelmsburg Castle in Schmalkalden with its impressive Renaissance architecture. The half-timbered town of Meiningen also attracts visitors with its historic buildings such as the Meiningen Theatre or the English Garden.

Cultural highlights are also offered by numerous museums such as the Henneberg Museum in the Veßra Monastery or the German Castle Museum on the Heldburg Fortress.

For those who like to be active, there are many outdoor activities to look forward to: hiking on the Rennsteig, cycling along the Werratal cycle path or canoeing on the Werra - all of these can be experienced here in the best possible way! The thermal baths in Bad Salzungen and Bad Liebenstein are also highly recommended, as is the "mini-a-thür" adventure park near Suhl.

The region also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights. Be sure to try the Thuringian dumplings, grilled sausage or the region's famous egg liqueur.

And what to do when the weather is bad? How about a visit to the Merkers Adventure Mine or a guided tour of Elisabethenburg Castle in Meiningen?

All in all, Rosa, Schmalkalden-Meiningen is a destination for every taste and at any time of year. Whether in spring for the cherry blossom, in summer for hiking, in autumn for enjoying the colourful foliage or in winter for skiing - there is always something to discover here! A travel guide for all nature lovers and culture enthusiasts alike.

    Sehr gut markierter Weg mit schönem Wegeverlauf. Leider zurzeit - Mitte November 2021 - viel Nebel. Auch reizvoll, aber irgendwann fehlt dann doch die Fernsicht. Muss wohl im Sommer nochmal herkommen.

    6 Eindrucksvolle Wandertage in der Rhön. Bis Langenleiten und die letzten 10 km sehr viel Teer. Die letzten 10 km waren hässlich und schlecht ausgeschildert. Die sollte man ändern oder sich sparen. Ansonsten sehr lohnenswert

    Wunderbare Tour. Die Asphaltstrecken an Anfang und Ende sollten durch Pfade ersetzt werden. Toptip Bernhäusener Kutte.

    Eine schöne Frühlingstour zum Start ins Wanderjahr auf den Pleß gemacht. Naturbelassene Wege und eine schöne Aussicht vom Pleß bei strahlendem Sonnenschein war die Belohnung für die Wanderung.

    Fünf Tage Genusswandern! Tolle, abwechslungsreiche Wege und weite Blicke. Da die Hotels in Thann ungern für eine Nacht (vor allem am Wochenende) vermieten, empfiehlt sich auf den Landgasthof "An der Ulsterbrücke" in Günthers auszuweichen. Sehr engagierter Wirt und auf Anfrage auch Hol - und Bringservice, wenn man sich den Schlenker sparen möchte.
