Thüringer Wald

The perfect companion through the regions of the Thuringian Forest

The new free Thuringian Forest app is ideal for planning your excursions in the Thuringian Forest - conveniently from home or as a companion on site, with information about excursion destinations and practical signpost functions.

Are you ready to actively discover the Thuringian Forest? The THÜRINGER FOREST APP has everything you need: great hiking and cycling routes, information about water sports in summer and skiing adventures in winter. In addition to tour tips and directions, there is insider knowledge about sights, places to stop for refreshments and accommodation.

Welcome to one of the most beautiful low mountain ranges in Germany - promising peaks, green valleys, protected high moors and mountain meadows, and of course the endless expanses of deep forests await you. No matter whether you are looking for sporting challenges or like moments of relaxation in nature: with both you are in the right place in the Thuringian Forest. The Rennsteig is the oldest and best-known German long-distance hiking trail - cult and myth at the same time. Even away from the ridge path, you will be surprised by numerous quality hiking trails and ADFC-certified bike routes. Glittering reservoirs and rushing rivers make your heart beat faster? Then enjoy the Thuringian Forest with stand-up paddling (SUP), packrafting, on a kayak or canoe tour, climbing or skiing - there are no limits to active relaxation.
