Rennsteig: 4-teiliges wetterfestes Kartenset mit Schutzhülle - Landkarte – Folded Map

Rennsteig-Radweg 1 : 50 000: Von Eisenach nach Blankenstein 208 km (Bikeline Radtourenbücher) - Taschenbuch

Der Rennsteig-Radweg weicht von der Mountainbike-Tour erheblich ab und ist wesentlich leichter zu erfahren. Die Karten dienen nur zu Orientierungsszwecken.
