    5.0 (1)·Moderate·12.6 km·Est. 4–4.5 hr
    Beautiful circular route in the Thuringian Forest. A great circular route through the forest and past the 4 idyllic ponds. There are actually 5 ponds along the way, but the small "Fischteichtle" is not one of the ponds that give the hike its name! At the starting point, there are car parks right next to the tourist information centre and the Rennsteig Museum. There are also places to stop for refreshments here. Highlights: - Rennsteig Museum - Idyllic ponds and forests - Ochenbach mill

    Interesting cycle route on the Rennsteig in the Thuringian Forest. This exciting route starts directly in Neustadt am Rennsteig - but the tour can easily be cycled in both directions.
