ブリュン、テューリンゲンの絶景の山頂・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

On the 825 m high Ersteberg is one of the many beautiful refuges on the Rennsteig.

From Masserberg we go to Ersteberg. At 825 meters above sea level. NN he is not yet a giant even for the Thuringian Forest. Its dome is quite flat. Without the refuge at the summit, you could easily hike over it without noticing, for example on a hike from Masserberg to Langertfelsen. The extensive clearing results in beautiful panoramic views from up here. Almost everything has something good about it.

Small fin hut well suited for protection. The huts on the Rennsteig are all fairly clean and tidy.

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.

The Ersteberg is located directly on the Rennsteig. A small shelter with seating. A few 100 meters further you can find the Langertfelsen. On the other hand, it is not far to Masserberg.

Located directly on the Rennsteig or coming from Langertfels, you pass the Ersteberg. A small increase just before Masserberg where you can find a seat with a shelter.
