July 23, 2022,Rhön Rundweg Nr. 3 von Urnshausen, Parkplatz Schönsee mit Pleß und Stoffelskuppe

Beautiful and varied circular route, a must on any Schönsee tent holiday!

We always add the ascent to Pleß because of the great view (and the bockwurst). In addition, this time we are up on the Stoffelskuppe. Because of the many tall nettles, that was not entirely painless and a bit adventurous.
