The Kieferle, near Steinheid in the county of Sonneberg, is a mountain, 867.2 m above sea level (NHN), in the Thuringian Highland and the second highest mountain of this range, which forms the eastern part of the Thuringian Forest . To the west-southwest the valley of the Grümpen, whose eastern source lies on the mountain's western slopes, clearly separates it from the almost equally high Dürre Fichte, on whose northern and eastern mountainsides other sources are located. To the east it is bounded by the Göritz. To the north of the mountain rises the Schwarza. To the south is the 837-metre-high Rittersberg, whose eastern neighbour is the Breitenberg. The waters of the Grümpen discharge into the River Main and then finally into the Rhine, but those of the Schwarza enter the Saale which flows into the Elbe. The mountain is thus on the watershed between the Rhine and the Elbe. The Kieferle rises south of the long-distance trail, the Rennsteig, which runs over the nearby Sandberg. The Kieferle descends to the south and is part of the Southern Heights of the Slate Mountains (Südlichen Hohen Schiefergebirge).

Goldisthal is a municipality in the Sonneberg district of Thuringia, Germany. The Goldisthal Pumped Storage Station, one of Europe's largest pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations, is located in this village.

The Nuremberg–Erfurt high-speed railway is a 191-kilometre-long (119 mi) German high-speed railway, between Nuremberg and Erfurt. The line is listed in Germany's federal transport plan as Verkehrsprojekt Deutsche Einheit Nr. ("German Unity transport project no") 8.1 and is a section of the high-speed route between Berlin and Munich and a section of the line connecting Italy and Scandinavia in the European Union's Trans-European Rail network. It consists of an upgraded line between Nuremberg and Ebensfeld and a new line between Ebensfeld and Erfurt. The journey time between Erfurt and Nuremberg will be reduced to approximately one hour and 20 minutes after completion. The planning began in 1991 and construction started in April 1996. Three years later construction was stopped by the new SPD-Green coalition government formed after the 1998 election and only recommenced in 2002. The new line was opened at the timetable change on 10 December 2017. The timing of the final commissioning of the upgraded section is still uncertain.
