We've had nicer Rhön tours. In addition, all the huts were closed because of wealth. It was incredibly crowded at the monastery. Overall ok but not spectacular.

We hiked from the beautiful town of Bischofsheim to Kreuzberg in great weather. We didn't like the first part of the trail that much. Asphalt and wide paths. But then it got better and better so that we had a great hike on beautiful paths with many beautiful views. Of course we had to stop at the monastery and drink …

In order to "get to grips" with a little bit of the miserable pounds I've gained over Advent and the holidays, I completed a very sporty solo tour today with a lot of KM & HM in/around Bischofsheim in der Röhn (Röhn-Grabfeld district/Lower Franconia).

What a green landscape 💚🥰: today we hiked through the magnificent Rhön from Oberweißenbrunn. Along the way, we visited the Osterburg castle ruins and climbed the Kreuzberg. In between, we enjoyed the grandiose panoramic views 😍.
We took a long, sociable break at the Kloster-Gaststätte Kreuzberg. When we then started our way back to Oberweißenbrunn, the sun was even shining …

Who's running through the Rhön Forest today –
with beer in their backpacks, fresh and cold?
"Rhön moped riders" they call themselves –
who know each other from their previous work.
So they take the effort –
and run straight up to the Kreuzberg.
Osterburg, a quick stop –
the beer is still nice and cold!
At the Kreuzberg, there's …

A wonderful sunny hike with wintry temperatures and a moderate east wind. The wind also provided some great views.

Unfortunately, smoke from the Kissinger Hut, which had burned down during the night, was visible in the distance.

Today's goal was to stamp 4 of 6 stamps on a flyer from the Bischofsheim Tourist Office. All stamping stations are located on …
