Since the city is located quite centrally and elevated… you have a great view of it from almost everywhere on the circular route

Small Felsenmeer in the Vogelsberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

There is a very small sea of rocks here. Created by erosion processes, the basalt lies there as if someone had poured out the individual rocks. In front of the sea of rocks there is a wooden bench that invites you to linger.

March 26, 2022,WeitblickTour Ulrichstein

We owe the idea for this round to Markus. He gave us this great tip here at Komoot after our tour to the Hoherodskopf.

The vision tour started and ended for us at the town hall in Ulrichstein. There's a large, free parking lot that was yawning empty today. You can run the tour as a 12 km loop, but …

Precisely it, the highest town in Hesse at 566 meters, maintains a natural swimming pool. Only the power of the sun warms it, and it is guaranteed to be free of chemicals. Only reeds and plankton filter the …
