A pleasant, moderate section with a lively up and down. No particular highlights, but with beautiful views all the way to the Wasserkuppe.
No refreshment stops along the way. There are a few restaurants and a cozy café in Tann.

This stage is also very strenuous due to the steep descent and the length. Nevertheless, we arrived relaxed thanks to many breaks and even a stop for refreshments.
Refreshments along the way are available at the Enzianhütte and Milsenburg.

A very long and strenuous tour, due to the two steep climbs to Kreuzberg and Himmeldunkberg.
The highlight towards the end is the Rotes Moor, which you cross via footbridges.
No refreshment stops along the way.

Although long, it's still a moderate, leisurely hike through autumn-colored deciduous forest. The elevation gain is negligible.
No refreshment stops along the way. Café Metz at the end point in Langenleiten is recommended.

After an unspectacular, steep start, the trail leads through the interior down to the coast.
From there, a 6km coastal path begins, which is quite challenging. For about 3km, you climb more or less pathless over inhospitable lava rock. Sturdy footwear and surefootedness are essential.
You'll also be exposed

An unexpectedly beautiful, varied circular tour, which, after a short section through the interior, leads mostly along the fascinating lava coast and the wine-growing regions.
Refreshment stops are available in the small villages along the way.

A leisurely walk to a whale-watching tower through the island's second-largest town, which was shaped by whaling and is now known for whale watching.
The natural pools also invite you to linger.

A very varied circular tour, but also characterized by steep ascents and descents. The route continues over densely vegetated volcanic cones, with lively ups and downs, before reaching a lunar landscape. New land with impressive views emerged here after a volcanic eruption in 1957.

This hike is the most popular tour on Sao Jorge.
Unfortunately, komoot crashed, and the recording consists of two parts.
The second part begins near a small waterfall whose pool is even suitable for swimming.
Then comes the final, flatter part of the descent to the lagoon, which we didn't find particularly

Today's final, quite long stage with a few climbs, starting in Wiesental.
The highlight here was the Plessberg, with its watchtower and listening devices from the GDR era.
Refreshments are available on weekends at the mountain hut on the Pless, which
is lovingly and voluntarily run by the Rhön Hiking Association
