No coach in sight, as in Goethe's time? The carpooling bench is a special offer on the Goethe Adventure Trail. It makes it possible to get from Großkochberg back to the starting point of the hike. Use the folding signs to indicate the desired direction of travel.

Particularly motivated hikers can also follow the Feengrotten-Kyffhäuser trail a further 8.5 km to the south to get from Rudolstadt to Weimar, Erfurt or Jena by train.
