On the trail in Wiesenthal in the Thuringian Rhön 🐾👣

I hadn't really looked at the trail in detail beforehand...
I just wanted to get stamp 295 on a leisurely afternoon dog walk...

I was very quick, very excited 😁

At the beginning of the trail, a beautiful path leads up into the forest and then across a juniper heath.

The Hochrhöner Premium Hiking Trail leads directly through …

One of our most beautiful tours in Thuringia.
Easy ascent from Glattbach to the Ibengarten, with lots of information about the Rhönpaulus. Then an easy descent with a very nice view of the valley near Wiesental and back to Glattbach.
