Fröbel Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

This vantage point is located above Oberweißbach. A detour to the Fröbelturm (Fröbel Tower) is highly worthwhile. From the tower, a magnificent panoramic view of the Thuringian Forest opens up. The inn at the tower invites you to linger.

April 12, 2022,Endlich mal wieder um die Leibis

Now that the snow has almost disappeared again, we decided to do the Leibis again today. The dark ground is partly muddy. Waschdorf is blessed with plenty of watercourses. From the Leibis up to the basement pond it is very muddy and bumpy. The old post road is also back in the direction of Neuhaus.
But around the Leibis it …

Today spontaneously used the last day of spring 🌞🌱 and cycled around the Leibis.
The dark ground is easy to navigate. But you have to watch out for ruts and ruts.
I had the Leibis almost to myself. Except for a couple with a dog 🐩 and a cyclist 🚴‍♂️ I didn't see anyone.
At the basement pond, various trees …

Today's closing round was about the Leibis. The very fresh temperatures should not be underestimated and one should dress appropriately according to the onion principle.
The mushrooms 🍄 appear as if they have been scattered. A bicycle trailer wouldn't be bad.

Finally around the Leibis again! Some of the trees are in an autumn mood due to the persistent drought. The water level is worrying everywhere.

Spontaneous after-work round. Arrived at the Schneiderfelsen at the right moment and being able to enjoy the last few minutes in the sun.
After circumnavigating the Leibis, it was already too close to dark to drive through the forest to the cellar pond and over the Poststrasse to Neuhaus. So I preferred to drive through Geiersthal again and then the …

August 22, 2021,22.08.2021 Leibis mit Sonne und Starkregen 🤪🙈

Started with the sun and tried to drive away from the rain ...
In Ernstthal it was dry and so I drove down the dark ground to Lichte. There were already wet roads there, indicating that rain had only just begun.
At the Leibis the cloud cover tore open and it got really warm. All around, however, the dark clouds …

March 18, 2023,Leibis die 1. bei Kaiserwetter ☀️🚴‍♀️

With the best weather, we finally tackled the first Leibis round today. The roads were very good. Dry paths except for a few puddles.
Nature is ready for spring and is in the starting blocks. It's so nice to see the first green tips.
The way up the dark ground to Ernstthal was very juicy 🤨. Which is probably due …
