The "Sunny Hermann" can be reached directly with the MTB, large partly beautiful paths, a very steep climb and also a scree. Above you will be rewarded with a wonderful view, from Viernau to Rotterode.

Unfortunately without snow, but partly with icy paths ... 🥶 At the end of the round there was still time for a short detour over the Dicken Berg and a fantastic sunset over southwest Thuringia! 🤩
