The well-known Rennsteig high-altitude hiking trail runs directly over the mountain and attracts hiking fans of all ages. But mountain bikers, road cyclists, and cycle tourists also enjoy the distinctive ascents and descents on the Großer Inselsberg.

The Große Inselsberg near Bad Tabarz, at 916.5 m, is the highest, widely visible elevation in the western Thuringian Forest. It has marked historical borders for over 1,000 years, currently between the districts of Gotha and Schmalkalden-Meiningen.

Not particularly large, but a blessing when bad weather sets in.

Redneckpoint is a first-class address when it comes to bows, crossbows, and all accessories for them. The shop has a very large selection, and the service and advice are second to none. 👍🏻
