Gehren is a small town on the border between the Thuringian Forest and the Thuringian Slate Mountains. Today, the ruins and the romantic castle park of the once stately castle, the imposing entrance portal and displays in the town and castle museum are witnesses to the changing history of the town and the region.The town includes the formerly independent villages of Möhrenbach and Jesuborn.Gehren is scenically located in the valleys of the Wohlrose and Schobse streams, close to the world-famous Rennsteig trail on the Thuringian Forest Biosphere Reserve.The town has well-signposted biking and hiking trails with touristically prominent hiking destinations. The variety of landscapes is particularly attractive. Mountains, valleys, many ponds and floodplains frame Gehren, Möhrenbach and Jesuborn in a special way. The local recreation area "Heideteich", supplemented by several lovingly designed playgrounds within the municipal area, is especially available to families with children. Numerous highlights, such as the Michael Bach Days, the Castle Park Festival, markets with cultural programs for young and old, as well as the club activities with their festivals, shape the town life.
