The district of Waffenrod/Hinterrod is located on the southern slope of the Thuringian Forest approx. 6 km from the Rennsteig and the town of Eisfeld. The mountain villages of Waffenrod and Hinterrod (recognized climatic health resorts) offer their guests peace and relaxation in the midst of unspoilt nature. The villages were founded in the medieval Rohdung period (11th/12th century) and today show a typical cultural landscape of the Thuringian Forest with valuable open land biotopes in a predominantly natural state (spring hollows). The Thuringian Panorama Road begins in Waffenrod/Hinterrod. From here you have a wide view in good weather. From the Coburg region to the Rhön, you can let your gaze wander. The Auenland vacation village with the Bergbaude restaurant and the unusual earth houses as an alternative accommodation option offer day visitors and holidaymakers a relaxing stop-off. The "Mystica" adventure playground and the summer toboggan run promise lots of fun, and not just for younger guests in the summer months. In winter, cross-country ski trails to Masserberg and Friedrichshöhe offer active recreation.
