We started from the parking lot at Malade Bank. The path marked 2 leads over fields and meadow paths to Hohe Geba.
From there, steadily downhill back to the parking lot.

On the Dr. Malade-Weg, enjoyment hiking is the order of the day! On the almost 9 kilometers, only a few meters in altitude need to be overcome. The route leads primarily through open country, so you constantly have the Rhön and the Thuringian Forest in view.
The church in Geba is definitely worth a visit due to its special interior …

This morning we steered from Hohe Geba, steadily downhill↘️, towards the stamp post Wilhelmsruh2️⃣4️⃣4️⃣ near the village of Geba🏘️.

Today we started on the Hohe Geba, the highest mountain in the Anterior Rhön, and followed the Dr. Malade Trail to collect stamps 240, 244, and 245.

From the plateau of the Hohe Geba, you have a truly stunning view of the Rhön.

During the GDR era, there was a Russian listening post here.
