Trains once ran over this structure. To the north, they went to Lauterbach to the South Station, which is also no longer served today. To the south, the tracks led into the Oberwald to the ammunition depot.

July 2, 2021,Asphalt-Runde im Vogelsberg: Hosenfeld → Zahmen → Crainfeld → Herbstein → Altenschlirf → Schlechtenwegen → Blankenau → Hosenfeld

Our bikes were freshly cleaned, but it had rained every now and then in the past two days. So today we had to find a route on which the bikes would stay clean.
So today there was an asphalt lap in Vogelsberg, which is a bit hilly, but is still very easy to drive.
Only between Zahmen and Heisters and …

Another nice tour through the Vogelsberg today. All in wonderful ways. Over the Grabberg, Zahmen, to Heisters. A super asphalted dirt road begins in Heisers and ends in Crainfeld. In Crainfeld I took the volcano cycle path. In Herbstein I left it and panned over the Schalksbachteiche and the Auhof. At the Schalksbachteiche in the pond house there is a …

Today, after a holiday in Saale, Unstrut and Ilm, another tour in my home country. I followed the tour to the Auhof recommended by @Rainer. Very nice tour, on wonderful paths. Unfortunately I couldn't try the advantages of the Auhof, which was open. There was a party at the previous fishing pond, so I took good care of myself

Today's tour leads over the Grabberg, Zahmen to Heisters. From Heisters in the Lüdertal on a very beautiful field path to Crainfeld. On the volcano cycle path to Herbstein. Before Herbstein, turn off past the Schrimpf gravel works, a bit through Herbstein to the Kolpingdorf Vogelsberg. Past the Schalksbachteichen to the Auhof. There is a small refreshment station here, especially …

April 23, 2023,Hosenfeld - Crainfeld - Herbstein - Auhof - Rixfeld - Schlechtenwegen - Hosenfeld

Today a very nice tour in the Vogelsberg. All beautiful ways. In Herbstein I left the Vulkanradweg and made a pan over the Schalksbach ponds and the Auhof. At the Schalksbach pond in the pond house there is a box in which drinks can be taken for a fee. A beautiful facility. The "famous" ice cream shop was open at …

October 1, 2021,Oktober-Sonne und ein Bauernhof-Eis vom Auhof

Pure October sunshine and pleasant temperatures, you definitely have to go on a bike tour.

So I went back to the Auhof near Frischborn, because there is a delicious farm ice cream there, probably the last ice cream I ate there this year.

October 10, 2023,Zum (ur)alten Hund von der Wolfsmühle

A few years ago I met him, Rex from the Wolfsmühle. As a greeting, he put his paw on my thigh and looked at me stupidly with his big eyes. Since then I have visited him once a year to see how he is doing and whether he is still alive.
