The "Red Tower" is not a brick tower, but a red-painted tree stump at a historic crossroads of the Rennsteig. It is the destination of the approximately seven-kilometer circular hiking trail Roter-Turm-Weg R 31.

The Schönwappenweg on the Rennsteig is an approximately one-kilometer section between Steinbach am Wald and Brennersgrün with various historical, coat-of-arms-adorned boundary stones that once separated the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg from the Electorate of Saxony. Later, they marked the inner-German border, and today they mark the border between two federal states.

The Dreiwappenstein am Kießlich (also known as Dreiherrenstein am Kießlich) is a historical boundary stone from 1717. It marks, as state border stone No. 634, the triple border point of former historical territories on the current state border between Bavaria and Thuringia.

Nice for cycling, nice for running, Also easily doable with a touring bike Recommended not only for the locals of Wickendorf and Teuschnitz. In good weather conditions, there are views in all directions as it is quite high up. Not recommended in rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds, as it is quite exposed.

The historic customs house on the border between Bavaria and Thuringia near Kleintettau (Markt Tettau) is a reconstructed historic customs station. It is located directly on the legendary Rennsteig hiking trail on the so-called Schildwiese. Today, the small building serves as a historical site and border memorial, commemorating the decades-long inner-German division.

The park is located directly on the Rennsteig, on Rennsteigstraße in front of the railway embankment and the bridge. Here, two figures point to the special situation on the Rennsteig: because the bridge is a symbol of the connection and togetherness of Bavaria and Thuringia.
