We started at the swimming pool in Plaue. Then we went up to the pulpit on well-known paths. There you have a fantastic panorama towards the Thuringian Forest. Always beautiful!

Hike over the Reinsberge, from Plaue to the Pulpit. You can always enjoy wonderful views over forests, towns and plateaus up to the main ridge of the Thuringian Forest.

In some places the ascent from Plaue is strenuous, but the view makes up for it. On the Reinsbergen you can almost walk along the abyss or relax through the forest.

May 31, 2025,Wanderung bei Plaue in Thüringen 🥰

This afternoon, we went on another hike with friends. We started at Plaue train station and headed into Thuringia's Sandstone Mountains. It was truly beautiful, climbing up toward Reinsburg and then toward Kleinbreitenbach, where the art trail runs 🤸🏃👍Highly recommended 👍But a good level of fitness is essential.
