On the Rennsteig you sleep in forest inns, guesthouses, small hotels and holiday flats in the villages on or just below the ridge; there are no mountain huts with dormitories, and sleeping in the trail shelters is not allowed. Wild camping is not permitted; the only campsite on the trail is the bookable Trekkingplatz at Kobach. The small stage ends (Ebertswiese, Allzunah, Friedrichshöhe, Spechtsbrunn, Brennersgrün) have only a few beds, so book ahead, and avoid the Rennsteiglauf weekend in May. Some inns and tour companies offer luggage transfer.
