ラウタータールの絶景の山頂・トップ8

On May 27, 1906, an observation tower was inaugurated on the summit in honor of Duchess Alexandrine (1820–1904), wife of Duke Ernst II of Coburg.[3][4] The Alexandrine Tower, designed by Max Böhme, fell into disrepair over the following decades due to inadequate maintenance and was demolished in March 1936 due to its dilapidated condition. On July 18, 1936, the Thüringerwald-Verein Coburg e.V. inaugurated the Alexandrine Hut on the same site, built partly using stones from the former tower. For over 80 years, the association has operated the hut on a voluntary basis and continuously modernizes it. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrinenh%C3%BCtte

The Alexandrinenhütte is a hut belonging to the Thüringerwald-Verein Coburg e. V. (Thuringian Forest Association Coburg). It is located on the Sennigshöhe (523 m above sea level), one of the highest points in the Coburg district, near the Mirsdorf district of the Meeder municipality in Upper Franconia (Bavaria). It serves as a popular hiking rest stop and, due to its elevation, is considered the highest beer garden in the Coburg region. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandrinenh%C3%BCtte

Very nice excursion destination - delicious snacks

Today I left behind the deep valleys, fearsome peaks and dark forests of my adopted Thuringian homeland and headed south into the wide, sunny Coburg region. My gaze extended to the Vesten in Coburg and Heldburg. The same mountains greeted me from afar. Fields and meadows grew magnificently. Red kites circled over the spot where, according to legend, the Headless Horseman appears again and again. I stopped counting at 20. What a spectacle! My advice: go to this place yourself and be amazed.

Contrary to popular belief: the Buchberg is the highest elevation in the Coburg region and not the Mirsdorfer Kuppe.

When you arrive at the tower, it is important to have one euro so that you can climb the tower. From there you have a great view.

The key for the tower can be picked up in the Arnoldshütte.

There is 😋 delicious pea soup with a sausage and a shandy🍺. Then you can drive the single trail (hiking trail towards Heldritt) strengthened - simply brilliant.
