Since we arrived a bit early and couldn't get into the vacation apartment yet, we drove to the parking lot at Ruppberg. From there, we hiked …

A short but mountain tour to Ruppberg, near Zella-Mehlis! It has to be once a year! A short hike, on a wonderful autumn day, to the 866m high mountain with the amazing view! Then sit on the terrace, have a beer in hand and let your gaze wander over the Thuringian Forest! Fantastically beautiful!
