The circular trail passes through Germany's oldest UNESCO biosphere reserve and captivates with its unique naturalness in the Thuringian Forest.
In the three zones of the protected area, it is "naturally" beautiful: the blossom-rich meadow valleys, the multicolored mountain meadows, the sunlit beech forests, the primeval-like mountain mixed forests with dense ferns and gently babbling springs that become crystal-clear refreshing mountain streams.
The round trip initially leads to the Rennsteig hiking trail from Schmiedefeld to Alte Tränke. Beforehand, a detour to Gr. Finsterberg (944m) with its new lookout tower is worthwhile. Also worth seeing is the Schmiedefeld view. The route then continues to Rennsteig Station. Here a stop at the "Thuringian Forest pub" is possible.
From the Rennsteig parking lot, the circular hiking trail leads back to Schmiedefeld via Heimig, returning to the starting point "Alte Post", where the Poacher's Museum is located.
This circular route with its natural character holds a special place among the hiking trails in the Thuringian Forest.
Starting point "Alte Post" (Poacher's Museum) Suhler Chaussee corner Herrengartenstraße - Gablenzbach - "Beautiful View"/Schmücke Street/Hotel am Eisenberg - Crossroads - Alte Tränke - Rennsteig - Rennsteig Station/Platform 1 (refreshments) - Rennsteig/Parking lot - Heimig - Tourist Information/Biosphere Reserve Info Center - "Alte Post"
