June 2, 2025,Panoramablick - Runde von Rothsee Revival 2025

"Is the fisherman's hut open today?"
"I think so, and I hope so – otherwise we won't get any fried potatoes!"
So we walked a bit there.
First, a look at the quarry.

We pass the "Hohen Dalle" –
we're already …

A note on this tour, in case someone wants to follow it: from kilometer 11 it is essential to follow the regular paths. My route here, which is even based on the Rhön hiking guide by Kompass (1st edition 2021, Tour 40), leads from the 11th kilometer through a forest aisle, which ultimately leads to the middle of the Bauersberg …
