Despite the bad forecast of rain and thunderstorms, we (Mani and HerSi) started at the Nonnengrube hiking car park. Above the old Hümmer road, we went along the edge of the forest to the Eberschützer cliffs. We walked back a bit along the green pilgrim's staff and then along a narrow path above Eberschütz along the cliffs. The sultry heat …

Today the hiking trail was supposed to be 5 km shorter, but due to a few highlights to be visited, it became as long as it has become.
At the best hiking temperatures, the hiking boots were laced and I hiked a self-made tour (planned with mapy.cz). On the route, however, I remembered where else I could go and how …

This is circular route 6 from the Kirschenplantage hiking car park.
A really beautiful route on almost exclusively paved gravel paths (the exception is the path to the cliffs, which is really beautiful and not too muddy)
A fantastic route that I will definitely do more often.

Relaxed forest tour without much hustle and bustle - just the way we love it 😄
Muddy forest roads were of course also at the start again. Nice views of the surrounding villages. The circular hiking trail is very well marked - it's almost impossible to get lost despite the large network of forest trails.
