Glass obelisk at the Steinbach am Wald roundabout

Highlight • Monument

The head-high watershed obelisk on the outskirts of Steinbach am Wald was originally created in 1850 and renewed in 1956. It lies at an altitude of 624 above sea level. and testifies that the Rennsteig divides the water along its entire length, namely to the north to the Elbe and to the south to the Main and Rhine. In the middle of the island of the roundabout stands the artistic replica of this obelisk.

KunstPark am Rennsteig

Highlight • Monument

On May 15, 2020, the wood sculptors began working on the tree trunks. The official opening took place on September 10th, 2020. The tree trunks are made of spruce wood with a soft and fibrous structure. To relax and "dangle", a "leg dangling bench" was set up between two tree trunks! Finally, visitors can listen to the fairy tales "Pinocchio" and "The cold heart" in the charcoal pile at the rear of the leisure and tourism center.
In the foyer of the leisure and tourism center there are other works of art by the artist Judith Franke, in particular a life-size wooden sculpture with glass elements ("The girl in green"). A glass star by the artist Susan Liebold can also be admired.

Scenic descent in Naturpark Thüringer Schiefergebirge/Obere Saale

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A really great panoramic view in all directions followed by a steep, fast descent with some curves. Be careful, in the lower part partly rough surface. Climbing fetishists drive the route of course opposite.

Spechtsbrunn Nature Park Information Center with snacks

Highlight • Rest Area

At the so-called Kalten Küche, the provincial road L1150 coming from Gräfenthal meets with the L2659 from Steinbach am Wald and the L1152 from Markt Tettau. From ancient times this was one of the most important transitions in the Thuringian Forest, crossing here but the Rennsteig, the old army and trade route Nuremberg-Leipzig and the Thuringian-Frankish slate road.
