The entire route along the Querkelsteig trail is very easy and interesting for everyone to walk.

Following the trail, actually a hiking trail, you continue towards Ottowind. Starting at the Alexandrinenhütte, the trail is relatively wide and only becomes a single trail in the lower third. The section through the pine forest is particularly enjoyable, with its easy root stairs, although there are very few of them. Overall, the trail is easy to ride, making it a clearly better alternative for mountain bikers.

On May 27, 1906, an observation tower was inaugurated on the summit in honor of Duchess Alexandrine (1820–1904), wife of Duke Ernst II of Coburg.[3][4] The Alexandrine Tower, designed by Max Böhme, fell into disrepair over the following decades due to inadequate maintenance and was demolished in March 1936 due to its dilapidated condition. On July 18, 1936, the Thüringerwald-Verein Coburg e.V. inaugurated the Alexandrine Hut on the same site, built partly using stones from the former tower. For over 80 years, the association has operated the hut on a voluntary basis and continuously modernizes it. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrinenh%C3%BCtte

The Alexandrinenhütte is a hut belonging to the Thüringerwald-Verein Coburg e. V. (Thuringian Forest Association Coburg). It is located on the Sennigshöhe (523 m above sea level), one of the highest points in the Coburg district, near the Mirsdorf district of the Meeder municipality in Upper Franconia (Bavaria). It serves as a popular hiking rest stop and, due to its elevation, is considered the highest beer garden in the Coburg region. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrinenh%C3%BCtte

The trail is beautiful in every season. It is partially lined with chestnut trees and offers repeated views of Coburg and, at one point, even the Grosser Gleichberg. This section is no surprise, as it's part of the panoramic trail around Ahorn. It's a perfect alternative for those coming from Schorkendorf toward Hohenstein, where you can enjoy nature. A hiking parking lot is located on the B 303, making it a good starting point for exploring.
