ニュタールの峠・トップ5

@Freischwimmer right on point 👍🏼

The small pass represents the transition over the ridge between the Nüsttal near Gotthards and the valley of the Siebertsgraben near Reinhards. The turnpike alludes to the border situation that has existed here since 1815. After the end of the Napoleonic era, the Congress of Vienna reorganized numerous territories. The former Bishopric of Fulda and its short-lived successor states were divided between the neighbors. The former Fulda office of Geisa with Reinhard fell to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach. The former Fulda office of Bieberstein became part of the (titular) Electorate of Hesse-Kassel, which was annexed by Prussia almost 50 years later. Even today, the federal state border between Thuringia and Hesse runs here.

The border between Hesse and Thuringia runs at this pass height. At the same time, the Hochrhön hiking trail runs along here.

From the hill above Obergruben there is some view to the north and there is also a bench. The saddle between the large and the small Grubenhauck also runs here.

Proper ascent and rapid descent on perfect road surface 👍 At the top of the pass at 496 m above sea level. NN is the border between Hesse and Thuringia

The road over the Milseburg reaches its highest point at Danzwiesen at 645 m above sea level. From here there are great views that make a short stop mandatory.

The top of the picture fir tree with a pass height of 496 m above sea level. NN marks the border between Hesse and Thuringia. The Auffharten of Gotthards on the Hessian side and Ketten on the Thuringian side is each almost 2 km long and has up to 10% in the steepest passages.
