Neuhaus am Rennweg

Neuhaus am Rennweg is a municipality nestled in the Thuringian Forest at 800 meters elevation, where forests and green spaces dominate the landscape. The town consists of several districts and blends rural features with basic local services.

The area was first settled in the 12th century and gradually became a trading center in the region. From 1952 to 1994 it operated as an independent district before merging into Sonneberg county.

The main church stands at the heart of the town and serves as a place where residents gather for important occasions. It reflects the long connection between this community and its religious traditions.

The location sits in a hilly region with direct access to nearby cities like Erfurt and Jena. The best time to visit is during warmer months, as the area sits at high elevation with cooler temperatures.

The area receives substantial rainfall throughout the year, which feeds the dense forest vegetation. This wet climate transforms the region into a lush green landscape within Thuringia.
