Neuhof Deserted Homestead and Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

Only the sandstone spring remains from the farmstead. The farm is said to have formerly kept livestock and because of the nearby Hohe Straße passing by the Hohe Straße, the tasks of the farm included harnessing services or harnessing services for carriages.

Neuhöfer Meadow

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Neuhöfer Wiese is not far from the Rennsteig and offers a good view far into the Rhön. At the upper end of the meadow is the hut of the Rotterode rescue service and at the lower end the hut of the Turnvater Jahn Verein Schmalkalden. Both huts are serviced on the weekends.

September 24, 2023,Runde ab Rotterode über Königsweg bis zum Rennsteig und ab Ausspanne an der Neuhöfer Wiese wieder bergab

Today part 2 of our boundary stone revision on the Rennsteig. The section from the Wachsenrasen to the relaxation area at the Neuhöfer Wiese had to be checked and recorded, which is sometimes not so easy because various stones can hide well.
