A few days ago we discovered the 'Schwarze Kuppe Nature Park Trail' with four stamps in the stamp booklet. Today we hiked the entire route in beautiful weather. It was a very beautiful tour with many breathtaking views. The two climbs were strenuous, but it was definitely worth it. The paths through forests and meadows were sometimes real challenges, but …

Tour 1 of our stamp hunt through the Thuringian Forest 🌲🌳 took us to the Waldauer Höhe / Schleusingen OT Hinternah hiking car park. A very beautiful, varied, and well-signposted hike with 4 touring stamps. 🥾🥾

A very beautiful hike near Schleußingen. We didn't notice the wolf warning sign until after the hike. The first kilometer of the hike goes through somewhat rough terrain. Stamp 387, Ansbachtal Refuge: Very well maintained and so far spared from the usual vandalism. We hope the builders can maintain this condition. Unfortunately, at some of the stops, it's not clear …

In fantastic autumn weather we headed off onto the motorway towards Schleusingen. The Schwarze Kuppe nature park trail with its 4 touring stamps was practically waiting for us 😉! We set off from the Waldauer Tor hiking car park. As soon as we got out of the car we got our first touring stamp. The path led quite steeply downhill …
