Over Schneekopf

This holiday apartment is located in beautiful Gehlberg, a small town in the heart of the Thuringian Forest. Vast forests and mountain meadows, fast flowing rivers and beautiful wide views make this area a paradise for nature lovers. Bicycling along the ridge - the Rennsteig tunnel - is sure to be an unforgettable experience! Eagles, black cock, lynx and many other species, usually rare in Europe, can be found here. Around the apartments you can see deer, roe deer and other animals coming to the creek to drink. Gehlberg gets its name from the arnica flower which grows on the yellow-colored hillsides. The village was founded in 1641 as a so-called glass cottage, where glass was manufactured and shaped. From two houses, a bakery, a brewery and a mill a village took shape. The original glass cottage is now a museum. At an altitude of 982 meters, on the side of Gehlberg, at the highest point of the Thuringian Forest, towers the great Beerberg (mountain). But lower hills, such as Schneekopf, Teufelskreis, Sachsenstein and Bärenbachskopf, offer breathtaking views as well. A picnic beside a clear, babbling brook or hanging around by the evening campfire, add a fairytale-like charm to the summer residence. In the vicinity you will find many activities to help make your holiday a relaxed but memorable stay!
