Gießübel is located at the transition from the Thuringian Forest to the Thuringian-Franconian Slate Mountains and borders directly on the Rennsteig. The vacation resort lies in the Neubrunn valley, surrounded by steep mountains. The species-rich mountain flower meadows with orchids, arnica and many medicinal herbs are particularly attractive. A visit to the "Gießübler Schweiz" hiking area - a geological nature museum - will be an unforgettable experience.
