Great view that is very far when the weather is good. Unfortunately the restaurant is currently closed. A beer on the trail was always a nice reward

On the way home I stopped off at the Hoher Meissner. The sun was already low in the sky and the moon had risen, bathing the winter hiking trail in a magical evening light. With every step I took in the crunchy snow, fewer walkers came towards me. Silence spread. Pause, take photos and enjoy. There couldn't be a better …

An easy walk around the transmission towers with a great view of Frau Holle Land.
It's a shame that the Meißnerhaus (formerly a good restaurant) has fallen into such disrepair and is no longer used.

Unfortunately, the paths on the Meissner are already very icy and partly slippery. Nevertheless, it is worth soaking up the sun and warmth😎

Torchlight hike on the Hoher Meißner. It started at 5 p.m. when it was still fairly light. Very interesting tour, we learned a lot about Frau Holle, St. Martin and Meißner.

Finally, snow underfoot 😊. The blue sky is still missing, but the distant views, snow-covered trees, and a proper wind are amazing 🤩💪🏽🙋‍♀️

Here I followed the recommendation of @Schepper.
It was a nice walk.

At the parking lot I noticed that the "Haus Meissner" had apparently been closed for some time.
The ravages of time have already taken their toll.

After a nice initial lap at the start of the cross-country skiing season (approx. 5 km not recorded) on the trail on the Meißner, we went on a short hike in fantastic conditions, even the winter sun made a brief appearance, simply wonderful 🌤️👌❄️
