Ithwiesen Glider Airfield

Highlight • Structure

Once you've climbed through the forest, a completely different landscape opens up on the Ith ridge! The expansive Ith meadows with the airfield offer panoramic views and, of course, something to look at during flight operations. ☺️

One bizarre rock formation follows the next in the Lüerdissen cliffs. No wonder the area is so popular with rock climbers. The Ith-Hils-Weg runs above the cliffs on the ridge, …

Today we're heading up to the heights of the Ith. We begin by enjoying the wonderfully narrow Ith-Hils Ridge Trail, crossing a sea of wild garlic and woodruff blossoms – simply wonderful at this time of year 🤗

Stonezilla on the Ith. A gigantic firework display of rock formations amazed me today. I saw gates, crocodiles and dinosaurs - what do you see? From Holzen I ran the last section of the Ith ridge that was still missing. First a loop to the Rothenstein cave, which is currently closed to protect the bats. A foretaste of the rocks …

Beautiful circular hike in the Ith with two stamp stations in the Solling-Vogler region "Wilde Heimat". Finding the route was sometimes a bit difficult because Komoot sometimes shows paths that don't even exist.

Walked part of the ITH path, as there was so much to explore everywhere, only made slow progress. In places the climber .. 🧗🧗‍♀️ watched or shined a little bit with flashlights into the existing caves and simply inspected these mystical rock formations ... and not far from my hometown ...

Germany is beautiful 💞🌄🏞
