August 30, 2025,Ruhige, schöne und auch teils Steile Runde ab Tanzbuche

After a sumptuous breakfast, we headed towards the Marienglashöhle cave... after a short rest with a weak coffee, we continued steadily upwards 😜 the beautiful views motivated us... The walk is highly recommended, sturdy shoes are essential 👍 The highlight was definitely the old Oberhof bobsleigh run 🤩

The hike begins in the Friedrichroda spa park. Before the hike, you can fill your water bottle with the healing water. This is much healthier than regular tap water. The tour ends at a fountain belonging to the Ludowingerquelle spring in Friedrichroda.
