Highlight (Segment) • River

A great section of route along the stream. If you want, you can always change the side of the stream. Also great for cooling your feet after a long hike. ;-)

November 18, 2022,Rundweg Wild-Park Klaushof

The hike offers a combination of deep forests and impressive buildings. We also made a detour to the 25 m high Ludwigsturm, built in 1883, before the path leads into the Klauswald.

We have passed the Wild-Park Klaushof, but still saw a lot of animals.

Then we went to the idyllic Kaskadentalbach.

Afterwards, we returned to the starting …

Easy, beautiful hike with moderate ascent and descent. Also recommended on hotter summer days, so refreshing along the stream and through the forest. At the Klaushof you can make a stopover and have a drink or something to eat and at the end there is a delicious ice cream in the rose garden.

Trip to the beautiful Rhön - combined with a visit to good friends. In glorious weather, a walk along the Franconian Saale to Bad Kissingen. Start at the Gradierweck - saltworks outside Bad Kissingen. Without much explanation, the pictures speak for themselves. So much to admire in terms of flowers and buildings - that we ran out of time. Luckily, …
