June 17, 2023,Wanderung über Backofenloch und Torstein

Today we hiked from Bad Tabarz. The first highlight was the rhododendron garden in Bad Tabarz, which partially still presented its mighty blooms. Then we climbed the oven hole and then went over the Ritzenwiese to the Torstein, both rock formations are remarkable and worth a visit. From the Torstein it then went steeply down to the Lauchagrund, sure-footedness was …

Today also a dog walk. 😊🐕 But because the many “Beautiful View” hikers have recently reminded me how beautiful it is on the Habichtskopf, I had to go there today. 🤩 And Ebby always at the forefront... even if she has to climb to do it. 😊😂👍💪

October 3, 2022,Backofenlochrundweg - Bad Tabarz Nr.6

2-3 circular routes are still open in Tabs, so today we went to the Lauchagrund again.
The weather was autumnal but suitable for hiking.

Many of the hikers who are on the road want to test Germany's most beautiful hiking trail in 2022, so that you had "a little" more peace and quiet away from it.
