Arrived at the stone you can continue straight to the Rennsteigwarte or turn off to the Werraquell-Hütte. The information on the board is interesting to read. A hut offers protection, a seat is available.

Until 1920, the 3 states Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, Principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen collided at this 832 m high Dreiherrnstein. These had been free states since 1918 and founded the Free State of Thuringia with 5 other small states in 1920.

Once you have climbed the tower you will find that it was worth it. You can see all the prominent elevations, such as the Gleichberge, the Straufhain, the Bleßberg, the Veste Coburg and many more. Even the Rhön is clearly visible. The upper reservoir of Goldisthal can also be seen. The weather has to be right. Definitely worth it.

The ascent is rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view all the way to the Rhön.

Has the charm of a war memorial, only with eternal water instead of an eternal flame.

The Schwarza spring rises 4 kilometers from Neuhaus am Rennweg and 250 m from the Rennsteig, at an altitude of 717 m. The spring water, which rises from a crack between slate and red sandstone, always has a constant temperature of around 6 degrees Celsius both in midsummer and in winter, which is often icy here. The spring was set in in 1855. In the meantime, however, the spring has looked for another way up and rises about 2m away from the source. In the further course, she looks for her own way (Fig. 4). In spring, a stream already flows past the Schwarzaquellhütte above the Schwarza spring. After 300 m the Schwarza joins the Habichtsbach, which at the confluence has already covered twice as much distance from its source. In the further course the Schwarza flows through the partially deeply cut Schwarzatal until it flows into the Saale after 53 kilometers in the Rudolstadt district of Schwarza. After more than 200 kilometers, the Saale flows into the Elbe at Barby. This makes the Schwarza part of the Elbe's catchment area, as does the previous "River Landscape of the Year", the Havel. The catchment area of the Schwarza and its tributaries covers a total of 507 square kilometers. The Schwarza has many natural stretches of water. Source: http://www.schwarza-fluss.de/schwarza.htm

One of the most beautiful viewpoints at the Leibis-Lichte Dam! A wooden shelter adorns the mountain & gives your photo subject a special flair. With a bit of luck, you will have this place to yourself, which, however, rarely happens. Please take a seat and enjoy the breathtaking view of the blue water and lush green of the surrounding forests. This is what Thuringia looks like!
