View of Taubenstuhl

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view from a meadow - unfortunately, however, without a rest stop.
A beautiful path to the "Nussdorfer Hütte am Fresswasen" (hiking marking "red cross") begins to the right of the vantage point - in the direction of "FH Heldenstein".

Ohhh dear 😨 today I kissed the ground again and twisted my foot 😣 but I'm already cooling it and it doesn't seem to be that bad. Lucky 😊

July 20, 2025,🚶🏼‍♀️Back from Paris, und gleich Wege, die man sich sparen kann.

It's not often that I say this, but I could have skipped this hike 🙈. The trails were mostly wide, not pleasant to walk on, or overgrown. It was swelteringly hot (not my style at all), and the horseflies I hate wanted to eat me to death. I simply skipped the Geisswiesensee and the biosphere reserve, which would have probably …

An absolutely fantastic summer hike with my Nello hiking friend Dieter. From the Taubensuhl forester's lodge over the Geiskopf to the farm ruins below, and then on to the Geisweiher pond with the former Geiswieserhof farm, before heading to the wind holes (Ritterstein), where cold air actually flows out. We'd never seen anything like it 🤗. Then we headed over …

June 19, 2025,Geisskopf und Stilles Tal: Vier Rittersteine und unendlich viele Zecken

In the beautiful summer weather, I once again "collected" a few Rittersteins:
218. Ritterstein 88 "Bei den Windlöchern"
219. Ritterstein 187 "R. Geiswieserhof"
220. Ritterstein 89 "Immensack"
221. Ritterstein 186 "R. Geiskopferhof"

There are an incredible number of ticks up on the Geisskopf. You can pick a few off your legs every few meters.
