Nice bench with a beautiful view. Perfect for resting. UPDATE: Unfortunately, the bank has disappeared. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But the beautiful view of Suhl and the hinterland up to the Dolmar or Rhön remains.

May 2, 2025,Schleuse- und Vessertal

A very nice loop. The section through the Schleusetal valley was new to me/us. Good bike path, mostly gravel.

In Breitenbach, we stopped at the Blockhaus (blockhouse) before the strenuous climb through the entire Vessertal valley in the evening light... 🏡🏕️🌲🌳
