Tourism is king! A refresh for the Thuringian Forest

Thuringia offers a high quality of life with its rich cultural scene and scenic countryside. LEG is involved in the 2025 tourism strategy to further leverage this potential. The key projects include two sites in the Thuringian Forest.

The first is an upgrade of Masserberg, a climatic health resort on the Rennsteig hiking trail. The upgrade mainly focuses on the bathhouse, which will feature a “forest” theme that incorporates light, sound and materials such as wood and stone. With attractive amenities such as a panorama sauna, a forest spa, a mountain meadow blossom pool and a new restaurant, the bathhouse will allow forest bathers to indulge all their senses and make Masserberg the top forest bathing resort in Germany. LEG is also supporting the redesign of the Inselsberg. This prominent mountain is being upgraded for tourism, with the plateau being completely developed and redesigned. Plans include an adventure world, new open-air facilities and parking areas. (hw)
