January 28, 2024,Kalte Buche / Rothsee / Teufelsmühle / Hohe Dalle - Rundweg 4 (Nähe Bischofsheim)

The tour is very easy to hike and well marked. Little road, only two crossings.

We also recommend the Holzberghof hunting lodge, which was close to the tour.

You can experience beautiful waterfalls, wonderful beech forests, great views, mountain slopes and extensive high meadows.

PS: Unfortunately the Rothsee was drained, so no pictures.

"The weather seems to be holding – don't worry!"
We pass the "Hohen Dalle" –
we're already …

Wow, that was number four. One of the Rhön tours. That was really worth it. Here again: if it has rained a lot or is winter, hiking boots are advantageous. It's a bit up and down at times, but all in all it's manageable. At first this tour was already on kommod, but since we had no reception, we just …
