Beautiful tour with lots of ups and downs - the Rhön and not Friesland.

June 10, 2022,Wanderung um den Neuberg, ab Glattbach bei Dermbach

One of our most beautiful tours in Thuringia.
Easy ascent from Glattbach to the Ibengarten, with lots of information about the Rhönpaulus. Then an easy descent with a very nice view of the valley near Wiesental and back to Glattbach.

On the trail in Wiesenthal in the Thuringian Rhön 🐾👣

I just wanted to get stamp 295 on a leisurely afternoon dog walk...

At the beginning of the trail, a beautiful path leads up into the forest and then across a juniper heath.

The Hochrhöner Premium Hiking Trail leads directly through …
