Lovingly designed signposts around Frauensee - in the past few weeks there has been a report in the newspaper about the person who is "responsible" for it. Unfortunately I forgot the name - thanks for the work anyway!

October 12, 2025,Herbstrunde bei Frauensee 🕹️🍂🍁

"Autumn is a painter. It paints the green leaves."

The stamping tour near Frauensee led me through a mixed forest awash with autumnal colors. Acorns and chestnuts fell loudly to the ground. This is good food for the wild boars that had already plowed the soil everywhere along the paths. Unfortunately, the sun didn't break through the ☁️ cloud cover; …

February 26, 2026,Touringen: Runde um Frauensee (T283,284,285)

Stamp tour in Thuringia:
I chose the loop around Frauensee, a sinkhole area with many dolines.

Mostly along forest roads, only the last section is a lovely forest path.

Overall, nothing special. No particular views, no highlights.

The stamp stations are located at rest areas/huts.

A beautiful scenic walk with plenty of seating (for picnics, for example). You should definitely stop by Lake Frauensee. Parking: Frauensee Parkstrasse 1

We have been a bit spoiled by the weather over the last few days. But it stayed dry from above and so it was a lovely tour through the autumn forest, a little off the beaten track.
Unfortunately, we didn't have 100% knowledge of the numerous mushrooms along the way.
A few lovely rest areas, particularly towards the end of …

This time we went to the Thuringian-Hessian border area. Frauensee, feels like somewhere in the middle of nowhere. But: great area with its own flair and surprises. First of all: the area warden does a fantastic job 👍. Great respect for this signage of the surprisingly many hiking trails for me 👏. The many great rest areas around the village …

First of all, a huge thank you to the creators of the hiking trail.

👏❄️👏🚶‍♀️👏❄️👏
Who, besides locals, would even think of hiking in Frauensee?

However, there is one drawback: The route unfortunately bypasses the "Josupeits Ruh" shelter. And the marked trail is completely overgrown. So watch your step!

The Frauensee is a sinkhole lake that gave the village its name. The loop leads above the lake through the Tannertal valley to "Josupeit's Ruh," a shelter in the middle of the forest. The trail continues along the ridge path until you reach the Ecumenical Pilgrim's Path at the Lehnhaus. From there, the trail descends via "Alma's Buchenhallen," the Miesgraben, …
