Friedrichroda

Friedrichroda occupies a mountain valley on the northern slopes of the Thuringian Forest in central Germany. The Rennsteig, Germany’s celebrated long-distance ridge trail, runs close to town, linking its forests with routes towards the Großer Inselsberg. Friedrichroda developed as a health resort, a role still reflected in its wooded surroundings and walking culture. In the Reinhardsbrunn district, a former Benedictine monastery founded in 1085 was later transformed into a palace estate. Nearby, the Marienglashöhle is known for its gypsum-crystal formations.
