The forest here isn't quite as dense as described above. Borki has been causing havoc, and the forest workers have been busy clearing it out. Nevertheless, it's still a very beautiful valley.

The Fehrenbacher Grund, a hidden gem in the UNESCO Thuringian Forest Biosphere Reserve, is a place that embodies the essence of hiking. It is a spot that enchants hikers with its natural beauty and tranquility. As I entered this picturesque valley, I was immediately captured by its tranquil and romantic atmosphere. The moist subsoil of the Fehrenbacher Grund forms a unique biotope, a paradise for the local flora and fauna. It is a place where nature still appears untouched and you can feel the diversity of life in every leaf and every drop of dew. The benches along the path invite you to sit down and unwind. I sat down on one of the benches, surrounded by the silence of the forest, and let the moment sink in. It is a place that invites you to pause, reflect and enjoy the simple things in life. A picnic or breakfast in these surroundings is a real dream. Surrounded by the beauty of the valley and the fresh forest air, even the simplest dishes taste like a feast. The Fehrenbacher Grund is a perfect place to take a break, recharge your batteries and enjoy nature in all its splendor.
