The Ölschröte belongs to Friedersdorf and in GDR times was a company holiday home and restaurant. The oil was also a mill. Here my grandma managed to grind the grain.

February 8, 2025,Rundwanderung - Durch das malerisches Junkertal- Allersdorf - Thüringer Wald

This tour promises more than it delivers. We have taken it from the Thuringian Forest portal. Unfortunately, some of the paths have probably not been hiked for years because they have become impassable due to fallen trees. We made the best of it and enjoyed nature. Not recommended for hiking.😞🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️

Starting point is a forest path to Mellenbach (Zirkel), a steep forest path up to the Allersdorfer Kuppe, further into the lovely Allersdorf over forest meadows down to the Ölschröte and in the lovely Junkerbachtal back to the beginning
