Despite everything a nice and relaxed tour.
For a brief moment the sun fought its way over the Inselsberg to say: I still exist 😘.

May 1, 2026,🇩🇪 Thüringen - Rundwanderung von Brotterode zum Großen Inselsberg

Beautiful hike also for (older) children. Refreshment stops at Dreiherrnstein, Grosser and Kleiner Inselsberg. Great views of the Brotteröder Sprungschanze and Grosser Inselsberg along the way. If you still have the desire and strength, you can go to the Fun Park at Kleiner Inselsberg with the kids.
