Langertfelsen

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Langert rock is easily accessible via an iron ladder. The reward: panoramic views towards the slate mountains and the surrounding area.

Rennsteigwarte on Eselsberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view is magnificent - and so is the opportunity (except on Mondays) to have a meal right next door. Everything from roasts, cakes and beer to coffee is available.

November 1, 2025,Drei-Gipfel-Wanderung in Masserberg

A three-peak hike sounds exciting! So, we and our friends are ready and eager to conquer the peaks.

We start our tour in the morning, actually with a bit of sunshine.

The trails became increasingly adventurous, as we constantly had to overcome fallen trees or streams.

Bad weather reports can't deter us - and then they were right.
The starting point of our hike over three peaks was in Fehrenberg. First via Heubach and Schnett up to Simmersberg. The youth hostel was barely visible in the fog. Continue to Höheberg in a former forest, now lunar landscape and then a very beautiful path (Gießübler Schweiz), with …

October 11, 2025,Samstag-Nebel-Tour zur Werraquelle

I've been wanting to go to the Werra spring for a long time.
I looked on Komoot to see what tours were suggested. 🤓
I found the "Three Peaks Hike in Masserberg" very appealing, so I modified it slightly to actually get to the spring.
I didn't really notice the three peaks on the tour 🤔 Maybe it was the …

August 24, 2024,Runde von Masserberg über Schnett zur Werraquelle

With the sun rising on the horizon, a very quiet, balanced round with little traffic on the route began near Masserberg.
After a short accompaniment of the well-known white R, we headed to the Ersteberg refuge in the morning mood to explore new paths from there, away from the Rennsteig. With a great view from the Langertfelsen under a cloudless …

There were several reasons for this particular hike. The Werra is our "home river" and we often travel down it in a folding boat. We have already been to Masserberg for running and mountain biking and we once spent a weekend in Schnett with our dance friends. The Thuringian Forest is a real gem for hiking. Do we need any …

Always following the motto, there is no such thing as bad weather, we start our tour in the morning in Masserberg on the Rennsteig.
We really wanted to walk or crawl through the advertised eye of the needle 😉. Because whoever goes through the eye of the needle can make a wish.......
Our tour was described as very difficult and …
