Since the primary school sometimes goes there and other children go there, there are usually many tipis made of wood and other things

Located directly on the Waldhausstraße from Schmalkalden to Trusetal, up high. Whether for a short round or as a starting point for longer hikes - here and in the surrounding area, so many paths from all directions meet so that you can always choose a different one.
