The Große Inselsberg on the Rennsteig is 916.5 m above sea level. NHN a striking, wooded and much-visited mountain of the Thuringian Forest in the Thuringian districts of Gotha and Schmalkalden-Meiningen.
The mountain is the highest in the northwestern half of the Middle Thuringian Forest and the fourth highest (independent) mountain in Thuringia after the Großer Beerberg (982.9 m), the Schneekopf (978 m) and the Großer Finsterberg (944.1 m).
It can be easily recognized as a landmark from the north and west within a radius of around 30 to 50 kilometers.
For over 1000 years it has marked historical borders - currently between the Gotha district and the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district.

Finstertal Visitor Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

Good luck for! If you want to take a short cultural break on a racing bike tour, this is the right place for you! Due to the iron ore deposits in the Asbacher Mountains, mining became at home here. Copper ore was mined in the 16th century, then cobalt ore. In 1858-1934 red iron and manganese ores were mined. On approx. 350 m of tunnels, stretches and crosscuts, you can marvel at the geological conditions of the mine and the extraction work used in iron ore mining. Particularly fascinating are the uniquely colorful fluorescent minerals as well as the original lights and toughness - the miner's earlier tools.

The nave with a tiled gable roof has a three-sided end to the choir area in the east.
