June 7, 2024,Wanderung zu Noahs Segel in der Rhön

Today, in perfect hiking weather, we visited the "Noah's Sail" observation tower in Thuringia. We met a motorcyclist and chatted with him for over an hour... Of course, the beautiful view from the tower and the Rhön were the main topics. It was a great day, even if the hiking route was a bit short.
