Altenburg (Pößneck's local mountain)

Highlight • Natural Monument

January 29, 2023,Ranis-Zechensteinriff Schloß Brandenstein-Burg Ranis🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🌤🏰👍🏻🤣

Did a nice winter hike in the Ranis-Pößneck area today. Wowww how nice to hike in the snow ❄️🌤🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️❄️👍🏻
We started at the parking lot below Ranis Castle. We went to the Zechenstein reef near Pößneck in very nice winter weather. After a good view from the Zechenstein, we went in the direction of Brandenstein to the Brandenstein Castle.

....again poached in the SOK! 😅
This time it started from Ranis Castle. The sun should! but didn't show up today.
But that didn't detract from the planned hike at all. 😇
Unfortunately, everything was locked at the castle...we were definitely just too early....🤭 (11:00)....so we continued straight away....there were still a few kilometers left.
It went on like this …

Unfortunately, I don't know from which komootler the inspiration for this tour came from, but thank you very much!
A very nice and varied tour to great rock formations (Zechstein reefs and caves), which I would not have expected here. Sure-footedness is sometimes required😉 .. especially on the Haselberg where the path got lost under the leaves and I was …

What drives you to Thuringia at the weekend, really Saturday to the regional fair Saale-Orla Schau in Pößneck, short flying visit. And then get out if you're in the region at the weekend.
