The circular hiking trail on the Grüne Band leads from the Kalte Küche/Spechtsbrunn via Kleintettau and Tettau. The field name Kalte Küche means chapel ("Kuche") on the border ("Calde"). The chapel no longer exists, and is now replaced by an information centre of the Thuringian Forest, Thuringian Slate Mountains/Obere Saale and Franconian Forest nature parks Scenically, the trail leads you through mountain and wet meadows as well as fens and dwarf shrub heaths You will also occasionally spot Scottish Highland cattle in the meadows, which obviously feel at home in the Rennsteig region. The cultural highlight on this hiking route is quite clearly the glass and porcelain tradition.

Author’s recommendation
A visit to the Tropical House KLEIN-Eden in Kleintettau is a perfect way to round off the short circular walk.
