Glöcknerhütte on the Rennsteig

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Super spacious refuge with attention to detail. A table, benches inside, a beautiful view, a candle to light, a hiking book to read and write in. The hut literally screams for cozy evenings!

View of the Thuringian Forest below Glöckner

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you hike from the Glöckner in the direction of the Inselberg, this descent to the Glasbachwiese comes just behind the Glöcknerhütte. The open terrain occasionally offers a good view of the Thuringian Forest.
