October 12, 2024,Bärenhöhle – Wechmarer Hütte Runde von Georgenthal

Our first hike during our week's holiday in October in Bad Tabarz.
We've been here regularly for a few years, mostly over the Ascension weekend.
After a break of a few years, this time in the autumn
with our very nice hosts at the Fröhlich holiday apartment, where we always felt really comfortable.

May 5, 2024,Sonntagsrunde 1.5 (Bärenhöhle – Wechmarer Hütte)

This Sunday round was rather unspectacular in terms of distance and elevation, but that wasn't the goal. 😉 I was more inspired by @Ricardo R and his fellow competitors and ate a delicious piece of cake along the way. 🍰
As far as I know, the cake at the Wechmarer Hütte is homemade and really recommended. 😋
At the end …

We then went through the valley of the Rodebach in the direction of the Bärenhöhle, where after the ascent and marveling at 👀 the rock formation, some of which was overgrown with moss, we took a first …

ATTENTION ⚠️: route guidance in some places absolutely bad. At around km 3 the trail is left and it goes pathless through high blackberry scrub and nettles down to the Schuhbaum. A little further up the same thing - but this time we used the normal hiking trail

Hi, friends of nature ... it should be a relaxing, small round with a distinctive starting point (bear's cave). Instead, I was more than shocked when I got there. It's bare....the place looks awful now. Also in the further course of the circular path ... everywhere hiking trails, trees across the path, etc.
The tour can no longer be recommended …
