The tour is based on a Komoot suggestion from another community member - thanks for the great groundwork!
Due to lockdowns I had to deviate here and there.
Great ride, especially on the Rennsteig and Luther trail.

If you don't want to drive to Brandenburg, you can drive on the Rennsteig in Hörschel. If the tour is too short for you. At the "Wilden Sau" you can take the Rensteig to the "Hohen Sonne" and then the Weinstrasse via "Mosbacher Linde" to Eisenach.
