Hiking
The Possenröder Cross is a mysterious limestone stone cross on the Rennsteig Trail. The vertical inscription "Possenrod" and its origin are unclear, but it is often associated with a bloody crime. It stands on the historic Hohe Straße, once an important trade route between Erfurt and Frankfurt. Directly at the cross is a beautiful rest area with a shelter, benches, and tables, ideal for a break during your hike.
