The highest point is a must when you are in the vicinity. An even better view is only a few meters further along the path along the viewing platform.

Suhl Weapons Museum (Malzhaus)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Suhl Weapons Museum is located in the middle of downtown Suhl, opposite the Herrenteich. A visit to the city of Suhl, which is characterized by weapons, is always worthwhile. In addition, the half-timbered house is a real eye-catcher.

The hike up the Rosenkopfstraße to the Schneekopf is always beautiful. Especially now with the lush greenery everywhere. Since you ride under trees almost the entire way, I was able to beat today's heat.
