Geographically, Schleid is located at the foot of the Thuringian Forest, surrounded by green hills and dense forests. The area is known for its breathtaking landscapes and the many outdoor activities on offer.

One of the most important sights in Schleid is the historic 17th century manor house with its impressive baroque garden. Here you can embark on a journey through time and learn more about the history of the region.

Another highlight are the numerous hiking trails through the Thuringian Forest, where you can exercise in the fresh air while enjoying spectacular views. In winter, skiing or cross-country skiing are also great activities.

For all culture lovers, there is plenty to discover: Nearby Eisenach beckons with its famous Wartburg Castle as well as the birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach. Goethe's Garden House in Weimar or the Bauhaus Museum in Dessau are also not far away.

If it rains, there is still plenty to do! How about a sightseeing tour of one of the museums, for example? Or simply relax with a hot drink in a cosy café?

Culinary Schleid also has a lot to offer - be sure to try the regional specialities such as Thuringian grilled sausage, dumpling dishes or the famous Schleiden beer.

But the best thing about a visit to Schleid is that you can experience something at any time of year. In spring and summer, the green forests and flowering fields attract visitors, while in autumn the leaves of the trees offer a true play of colours. And in winter, everything turns into a fairytale winter landscape with glittering snow.

Whether as a day trip or a longer journey - Schleid is definitely worth a visit! With this travel guide you have all the important information for your stay at hand.

    Die Stempelstelle ist auf einer kleinen Insel hinter einem kleinen Bachlauf. Für Kids zum matschen ideal.

    Sehr schöner und abwechslungsreicher Weg. Gut ausgeschildert. Die Bewertung T2 teile ich nicht, die diese Kategorie definierende Absturzgefahr kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Die Saalehorizontale in Jena ist ein T2-Weg. Der Hochröhner (auf dieser mir bekannten Etappe) ist ein ganz gewöhnlicher T1 Wanderweg.

    Abwechslungsreicher Familienweg mit einigen Sitzgelegenheiten und Spielmöglichkeiten für Kinder. Wir hatten leider den Fall, dass der Weg im unteren Bereich gesperrt war, ohne dass es auf Outdooractive angezeigt wurde. Laut dem ausgehängten Zettel sollen die Waldarbeiten am 30.09. beendet sein. Kontrollieren kann ich es leider nicht. Ansonsten waren wir von den niedlichen Trollen am Wegesrand begeistert :-). Wenn man morgens schon loswandert sind wasserfeste Schuhe zu empfehlen, da ein Teil des Weges über Wiesen verläuft.

    Auf diesem abwechslungsreichen Rundweg sind so gut wie alle Wegbeschaffenheiten vertreten (Waldpfad, Wiesenpfad, Schotter, Kolonnenweg und ein bisschen Asphalt). Wir sind den Weg im Uhrzeigersinn gelaufen und mussten einige knackige Anstiege überwinden. Persönlich hat mir der Abschnitt im Kiefernwald im Bereich Point Alpha gefallen. Wie jeder Rundweg, den ich in der Rhön bereits gewandert bin, ist auch dieser sehr gut beschildert.

    Sehr schöne Tour mit Blick auf die Kuppenrhön, wer jedoch etwas spektakuläres erwartet ist mit einer anderen Tour wohl besser bedient. Leider ist der ein oder andere Aussichtspunkt auch schon durch Bäume und Sträucher zugewuchert, sodass sich die Schleife im Wald leider nicht wirklich lohnt. Dennoch sind die Wege abwechslungsreich und durchgehend sehr gut beschildert. Wer die Highlights der Rhön schon kennt ist mit dieser Tour definitiv nicht schlecht beraten.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung mit Point-Alpha, den Highlights der Stadt Geisa und regelmäßigen eindrucksvollen Weitblicken in die Umgebung. In der Gesamtbetrachtung gefällt mir die Wanderung auch besser als die Extratour "Der Rasdorfer".
