Camping at the Hunting Lodge
A pitch near the old hunting lodge of the Meiningen Dukes, up at Rhönblick. Mixed forest all around. In front lie the open spaces with the wildlife enclosures. Those who are up early will see the fallow deer grazing before the first hikers set off. A family trail of 2.5 kilometers leads along the fence through the forest. In sight an old border tower, silent remnant of the division, next to it the World Peace Cross. To Erfurt approximately 72 kilometers. On the terrace regional cuisine and views over the plains.1

Sights in the area1
Erfurt
Thuringia's capital, about 72 kilometres away. You can walk the old town with its inhabited Krämerbrücke in a day, the go-to trip for grey weather.
Mariendom and Severikirche
The two churches stand side by side above Erfurt's cathedral square, easy to spot from the steps. Anyone visiting the old town takes them in along the way.
The Rhön
The uplands start right behind the lodge, open plateaus and basalt domes. Good country for long walks and wide views.
