Gasthaus & Pension "Zum Rennsteig" : Rennsteig 18, 98749 Eisfeld

The quiet, direct location on the Rennsteig Trail is sensational. Hikers will love the forest sofa, which offers views across the meadow into the forest. And for dinner, enjoy Thuringian specialties in the inn's gorgeous beer garden: a 0.5-meter-long bratwurst and a traditional snack—you can't miss it!

Here you will be warmly welcomed by the owner in a small, cozy but modern guest room. The menu today consisted of three dishes. Schnitzel (€19.50), 1/2 meter of Thuringian bratwurst (€17.50) and Thuringian sausage platter with bread (€17.50). Bratwurst and schnitzel were very good. I would come here again.

We only stopped by to eat so I can't say anything about the rooms. While it kind of felt like we were disturbing and we weren't welcome at first, the food was very nice and the beer was amazing. Maybe we just happened to drop in at a bad time, but just considering the food it's worth a visit.
