The Rennsteig 

The fascination of Germany's most famous hiking trail


“I love walking through the country on the Rennsteig.” True to this hymn, hikers are drawn to the Rennsteig in all seasons. Not only is it one of the most famous long-distance hiking trails in Germany, it is also the oldest of them all. The almost 170 km long trail has been used for centuries, and old milestones and markings still bear witness to this today. A hike on the Rennsteig is as varied as life itself: Sometimes it is gently undulating on well-trodden paths, then again you are surprised by steep climbs and narrow windings. But it is always one thing: a panoramic trail that rewards all efforts with magnificent nature, tranquil forests and colorful meadows.
