Mountain Trail to Dörrtal

Highlight • Trail

A very nice hiking trail, but only the local guide finds it - the route recommended by the smartphone runs almost parallel, but is not so nice.

Mountain Trail from Gräfenroda to Gehlberg

Highlight • Trail

Very varied, interesting hiking trail. The "difficult passages" are even secured with chains. There is also a lot to see. I didn't expect that here.

The path is the destination and the name says it all! The old mountain path from Gräfenroda to Gehlberg keeps its promise. For almost the entire route it runs as a narrow path along the mountainside. There are also beautiful views and a huge "structure". On the initially wide path back you come to the Hans Kehr Stone and later …

I found this tour here in the komoot community - luckily! What a great landscape! One view follows the next! And the mountain path is a dream! From easily walkable to quite demanding, everything is included.
A highly recommended tour! 😊

April 28, 2023,🌧Regenalternative zu Fuß statt MTB - und zuuuu viele Bilder 🙈😅

Tour was actually planned as part of a cycling tour.
Since it only rained at the beginning, I hiked part of the way.

We started near the Gehlberg mountain path.
Mountain path is partly only towel wide...but well fixed. Fear of heights is out of place.😱 Generally a dream single trail for MTB.😎
