Old Railway Bridge on the Kleinschmalkalden–Brotterode Line

Highlight • Bridge

On December 19, 1898, the entire route from Kleinschmalkalden to Brotterode was opened.

The passenger trains usually ran from Schmalkalden to Brotterode without having to change trains. On December 14, 1964, the Auwallenburg–Brotterode section was shut down and dismantled.

Turmbaude at Wallenburger Tower

Highlight • Mountain Hut

On the top of the tower you can enjoy a very beautiful view. To get to the top of the tower's platform, you have to squeeze through a narrow hatch. But it's worth it!

Auwallenburg Station (Former)

Highlight • Historical Site

At the end of the Mommelstein cycle path is the "Alte Auwallenburger" train station. Or at least what's left of it. 😉

Mommelstein Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view towards Laudenbach, Elmenthal and Trusetal.

Very nice rest area. If you forgot to eat, it's only about 300 meters to "Zum Fuchsbau" on Mommelstein.

A sensational round in golden autumn weather 🍁🍂🍄‍🟫

In the winter wonderland ...
Today we went from Trusetal via the Wallenburg Tower to the Mommelstein. Unfortunately, all buildings are currently closed. So pack provisions.
The game reserve on the Mommelstein is sure to be a highlight for children too.
The way back led us past the Truseltaler waterfall. In winter it is out of order, but in summer …

Joooo... we finally managed to explore the Brotterode-Trusetal region with the Trusetal waterfall 🌊🌊👍🏻💪🏻🌳🌲⛰️🌳🌲🥾🥾✅️.

My Kerstin had the weekend off and so we decided at short notice to go on a hiking tour to the Trusetal waterfall. The regular touring tour was spontaneously "edited" and the result was a 16km hiking tour🤣🤪👍🏻✅️😎🌤.

I've wanted to do an after-work lap for a long time. I'm probably the last one here. It struck me: doing is actually just like wanting, only much more crass.

Today tour no. 11 from the Roth hiking guide "Thuringian Forest + Rennsteig". You can download the GPS files and let Komoot navigate you.

Today it was tour number 11 from the Roth hiking guide Thuringian Forest (6th edition).
The route is not particularly varied, but the tour leads past beautiful highlights. Unfortunately, the Wallenburg Tower was locked and could not be climbed. The Mommelstein has a beautiful view, especially if you climb a little up the rock.
The biggest highlight was the Truseltal …
