Parking in the Machtilshausen commuter car park.
The hike starts at the fire station (town center).

Would you like a view of the Rhön and the Kreuzberg? Then take the climb to the highest point of the Elfershausen market (Hohe Roth).

(Picture no. 7: You could take a shortcut here and walk via Engenthal.)

"Not too hot - the weather's perfect!"
The decision is quickly made:
"The Trimburg Loop would be something -
it's even more fun with four people!"
The Trimberg Cemetery is the destination -
not a lot of kilometers.
From there, you run this loop -
wonderful at any hour!
With a panoramic view into the distance -
you always enjoy …
