🌲 About the Region
The Thuringian Forest is a densely wooded mountain range in central Germany, reaching heights of nearly 1,000 meters and covering around 1,000 square kilometers. Known for its rolling hills, vast spruce forests, and slate-roofed houses, this region is beautifully recreated in the add-on – down to the smallest detail.
🚌 Drive for OVR
Take the wheel for Omnibus-Verkehr-Rennsteig GmbH (OVR) and connect even the most remote villages in the fictional landscape set around 2005. In addition to regular services, you’ll also operate school bus routes and a special bike & hike shuttle using a unique trailer bus combination.
You’ll also be able to drive buses from two subcontractors:
Kessler-Reisen (Bad Lemnitz) and Müller-Touristik (Wurzbach).
