    Hiking

    At the Schildwiese rest stop, there is a very special piece of Rennsteig history: a small customs house that is reminiscent of the former German division.
    It was created by Günther Schmidt from Spechtsbrunn. With a lot of humor, he has designed a place here that recalls the time when the Rennsteig was actually divided by the border. Today, you can hike here without any passport control.

    A customs house used to stand here on the state border between Bavaria and Thuringia.
    The locality on the Rennsteig is mentioned in the 1414 divisional document.
