November 10, 2021,Hirschkanzel ⛰️ - Werraflößteich - Ehemalige Goldwaschstelle

Hiked again today 🤗. This time in the Thuringian Forest 🌲 to the Hirschkanzel with a fantastic view and then on to the Werraflößteich and the former gold panning point. Then it went back downhill along the river with wonderful small waterfalls and continuous rush of water. Absolute peace and relaxation guaranteed 😉.
