Today the special Rotes Moor tour should be hiked. The tour started at the Red Moor, which was only lightly visited due to the weather. The Red Moor is beautiful and really a great destination. We continued over the Cascade Gorge. Rushing water followed the path. We continue over the Mathesberg to the Moorwiese car park. Here I was greeted …

The tour starts at the Schornhecke parking lot. It leads through the forest to the Ulsterquelle spring and continues through the beautiful Rhön landscape. Later, you reach the beautiful Cascade Gorge and hike through it. The route continues to the Roter Moor and the Heigelstein. Overall, a very beautiful and typical Rhön hike with plenty of nature and beautiful views.

Actually, it's only 18.1 km, but we missed the turnoff at the cascades. 🫣
The trail is marked with a "Red R" and is well signposted. 😎

What a wonderful tour around Rote Moor in the autumnal Rhön.

Very nice, varied, long tour. Start/end is the 🅿️ moor meadow. This doesn't offer many parking options, so it's "safer" to start at the 🅿️ Chimney hedge, for example. The route is consistently marked with the red R. Also see hiking signs on the route.
