Strange rest stop 🤔 No water, no toilet, but at least a bag of gummy bears 🐻

The Heinrichstein is a jagged rock massif with a viewpoint at a height of around 500 m on the western slope of the Saale valley in the upper part of the Bleiloch dam. The beauty of the view from the Heinrichstein, even before the Bleiloch dam was built, was praised by Ludwig Ganghofer in two poems in 1912. It probably takes its name from the Lords of Reuss, who all had the nickname Heinrich since the 12th century.

Nice parking lot for cars (with bike racks) as a starting point for some tours, for example along the Rennsteig 👌🏻 There are also some seating options on the square itself for rest and refreshment on the tour.
