This moderate hike takes the walker from Oberhof along charming hiking trails to the Pfanntalsteich. This artificially created small lake used to serve the railway to supply steam locomotives with fresh water after the strenuous climb. The route passes the Bärenstein. A detour to the viewpoint here is definitely worthwhile. From here, walkers overlook the historic Oberhof station, a perfect spot for a rest.
Continuing along the old Flößgraben back towards Pfanntalsteich and then to Oberhof. The ditch was originally created to transport logs, today it is a tranquil stream. Idyllic peace, the scent of fir trees, and once again a small uphill challenge for the circulation. Upon returning to the Rondell, a detour to the Rennsteiggarten Oberhof is highly recommended in the summer months.
From the Oberhof Information center towards the pedestrian zone, along Zellaer Straße to the junction with Waldstraße, continue on the forest path towards the Rondell, left over the pedestrian bridge, the path below the Rennsteiggarten to the right towards Bärenstein, continue on this path to the Flößgraben, right downhill to Oberhof station, right uphill about 300 m on the road, then right through the Pfanntal to the Rondell, over the pedestrian bridge, then right on the forest path to Zellaer Straße, back through the pedestrian zone.
The hiking trail requires sturdy footwear. You will walk partly on narrow paths.

The Pfanntalsteich is one of the most popular photo motifs in the Thuringian Forest. Not a bathing lake, but a wonderful place of power. Don't forget your camera.
