Brotterode-Trusetal

The Truse stream defines the setting of Brotterode-Trusetal — it runs through a narrow, wooded valley in the Thuringian Forest, linking the settlement’s two former communities beneath the slopes of the Großer Inselsberg. The municipality was created in 2011 through the merger of Brotterode and Trusetal, yet both names remain part of local identity. Above the town, the Rennsteig, Germany’s best-known long-distance ridge trail, crosses the Inselsberg area. Trusetal is also known for the 58-metre Trusetal Waterfall, an artificial cascade built in 1865 by diverting water from the Truse.
