View of the Freibach Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

For me one of the most beautiful valleys in the Thuringian Forest. From wildly romantic on the upper reaches of the Freibach, until far and juicy towards the mouth in the Ilm. Varied tour possibilities from 5 to 20 km in the round course from Stützerbach.

Upper Berggraben Trail (Freibach Valley)

Highlight • Trail

Here in the Freibachtal, which also belongs to the Vessertal, you will find the Oberen Bergrabenweg. A beautiful section which lies through forests and great meadows in the Freibachtal.

Grazing meadows in Naturpark Thüringer Wald

Highlight • Natural

Farming with cattle and the small Polish Konik horses is an example of successful, natural farming! The fenced areas can be crossed on the paths.

Freibach Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The section in the Freibachtal was left natural for nature conservation reasons. So you shouldn't be surprised, but should enjoy the ride directly along the stream and over the small bridge. A very nice, albeit short piece.

Small Bridge Over Stream in Naturpark Thüringer Wald

Highlight • Bridge

My dog loved getting in the water here. The splashing cools the air and is very calming.

July 16, 2023,Freibachtal kleine Sonntagsrunde von Meyersgrund 07/2023

A short, leisurely Sunday tour through the beautiful Freibachtal near Stützerbach. Once you have left the area surrounding the campsite, it becomes nice and quiet. You walk through cattle pastures and are one with nature.
