サンクトバーナードの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

The free car park is at the end of Basaltwerkstrasse. It is best to park on the left side of the road. We parked on the right and stood in the full summer heat in the afternoon. The small Liegelberg shelter is a great place to stop. There you will find brochures about the Gleichberg area as well as helpful hiking trail signs. We found this place to be very lovingly laid out and detailed. It is a pleasure to look at this place.

The free car park is at the end of Basaltwerkstrasse. It is best to park on the left side of the road. Our car was parked on the right side in the sun in the afternoon. A small shelter hut invites you to linger at the end of the hike. You can also find brochures there, as well as many helpful hiking trail signs.

Plain but quite generously sized shelter halfway up (530 meters -> summit of the Kl. Gleichberg then 641 meters). So a somewhat larger hiking group could also find space here.

The Steinbauer Seebers Hut, on the way to the small Gleichberg

Dark Count and Dark Countess is the name for a mysterious couple who lived at Eishausen Castle near Hildburghausen from 1810 to 1837 and rarely appeared in public. Because of their reclusive life and their unclear identity, they were known in literature as “the Dark Counts” (Comte et Comtesse des Ténèbres). For a long time she was considered Marie Thérèse Charlotte of France, daughter of the executed French King Louis XVI. and his wife Marie-Antoinette, which has now been refuted through anthropological and molecular genetic analyses.

There is a mysterious story behind the remarkable tomb of the Dark Countess. Maybe everything stays in the dark? 😉

Good starting point for exploring the Gleichberge

Steinsburg is the popular name for the remains of a Celtic oppidum on the Kleiner Gleichberg in southern Thuringia, in the Hildburghausen district near Waldhaus near Römhild. (Source: Wikipedia)
