June 29, 2024,Family-Tour nahe Hammelburg

A short trip to a campsite near Hammelburg to enjoy the nice weather. Of course, only in combination with a hike. But that was quite a challenge with the altitude profile and temperatures of over 30 degrees. We even had to stop off at the beer garden shortly before our destination in Diebach.

March 28, 2022,Kapelle am Sodenberg – Tunnel Runde von Diebach (Rhön)🚶‍♀️🚶🌲🌳☀️🏔

From our Neumühle Resort accommodation we went through the Rhön in a wonderful ☀️. We were always rewarded with views of the Franconian Saale but also of the Wasserkuppe 🏔🌲🌳.
A wonderful day, a beautiful round away from any hustle and bustle 😀
