Historic Town Bench on the Ilm-Rennsteig Cycle Path

Highlight • Rest Area

The cycle path was rebuilt when the railway line to Groß Breitenbach was closed. An easy way to drive towards Rennsteig.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Top cycle path from Ilmenau to Großbreitenbach. It runs along a former railway line, asphalted throughout and designated as a cycle path.

Großbreitenbach–Ilmenau Rail Trail

Highlight • Trail

Good trail, but don't miss the start. Otherwise, you'll end up on a very sloppy gravel road.

Beautiful bike path from Ilmenau to Großbreitenbach or Neustadt am Rennsteig. The route is almost completely paved and leads along the former railway line from Ilmenau to Großbreitenbach. Works well for a short trip with a decent climb.

Short tour up to the Höllteich to feel a little snow under your shoes/tires. Luckily, the Ilmtal-Rennsteig cycle path has so far been spared from forestry work, so the path was hardly muddy.
