Despite the prolonged frosty weather, the ice layer was still quite thin today...feet off the lake

It's a shame that you have zero zero visibility up here in winter... so you have to concentrate on the little things

Beautiful monument on basalt… a great view in fine weather including.

On the round unmistakable rock mountain… the crucifixion group is visible from afar

Monument from another time. But it is impressively done, today it encourages climbing.

The ascent alone is an adventure. It goes over stairs and rocks through a forest. Then over steps to the summit. From the top you have a breathtaking view of Kreuzberg and Heidelstein. And especially to the Wasserkuppe.

The memorial was erected on a volcanic chimney, which was formerly called Lerchen Hügel, later called "Loessl Steine". Carl Oskar Ursinus had designated this place for an annual commemoration, since Eugen von Loessl had started his last flight from here on August 9, 1920 during the first Rhön competition. On August 14, 1921, Wilhelm Leusch, the second person to die in gliding, also died at this point due to a surface failure due to a faulty design of his glider.

Nice path through the red moor. You can see the Heidelstein very nicely from the observation tower at the end
