Let's go to the penultimate stage. Start in Spechtsbrunn with the best weather and music, shortly behind us the brass band is playing a serenade because of the local fair.
On this stage, we briefly leave Thuringia and come to Franconia, here the stage leads along a busy road, which is why we switch to

Here the Rennsteig is already different than on the first stages. Due to bark beetle infestation, you can see much further, the paths are narrower and the stones are bigger. 🤣
Yesterday I didn't like the section around Neustadt, but around Neuhaus it's even uglier, why does the path have to lead along

Started today in the rain, the first hut shortly after the start, still a bit too early for us. Shortly after, we reached the midpoint of the Rennsteig. From Neustadt onwards, the path runs along the roads for a few kilometers, a shame. The trees around us are decreasing somewhat, large areas have fallen

Approximately halfway through today's stage, we stopped at the Waldgasthof Schmücke. Delicious food and drinks and nice

Nice stage, even though it was long. After starting at the Spießberghaus, we were back on the Rennsteig quite quickly. From here, with a few exceptions, it went through the forest. However, there were several observation towers from which you had a beautiful view over the forest.

The second stage started in the middle of Ruhla, no breakfast was served. I recommend an overnight stay at Hubertushaus, which is located directly on the trail.
After we fought our way up to Ruhlaer Häuschen, we are finally back on the Rennsteig. The trails are top and we manage several kilometers. Unfortunately

First stage of an absolute classic. Today we tackled the Rennsteig. At the starting point in Hörschel, following old tradition, we grabbed a pebble (thought there would be bigger ones, but others have surely taken them already) and off we go. In the best rainy weather, it's mostly uphill today. The path

Beautiful tour, like all the extra tours I've done so far. From the parking lot, it goes up with a slight incline to the Mottener Haube. There is a viewing tower here, which you absolutely must climb.
Back down towards Jägereiche, an impressive tree that has suffered a lot.
Our destination is the inn at

Like the other extra tours in the Rhön, really beautiful again.
The hike leads you through forest, meadow and moorland.
From many places, you have a beautiful view over the Rhön and the Wasserkuppe.
The ascents are well distributed, so it wasn't too strenuous and at the destination, a restaurant with cold

A beautiful path through the city forest with many shady forest trails, ideal for a relaxed round without great effort. The elevation profile is like in Holland – or, as Obelix would claim, like Switzerland – so completely flat and pleasant to walk. And all this with less wind than in real Holland.

A very beautiful and quite easy hike around the vineyard. The uphill and downhill sections are moderate and not excessively steep.
The tour starts in Hünfeld at the Haselsee. Here you can go boating or simply walk along. At the lake, there are figures from some of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales.

The tour starts in beautiful spring weather at the site of the former Kissinger Hut, before it burned down. Hopefully, it will reopen as planned this summer. We would have loved to stop there after the hike, but we'll definitely do that next time; the view from up here on the Feuerberg is truly fantastic

Today's hike was quite challenging; the climbs were rather steep and the route somewhat longer. Parts of the paths were quite difficult, as they had been churned up by wild boars and were muddy, making them hard to walk on. But the stunning views over the Rhine, the beautiful castle at the end, and the

Started the last stage in Brennersgrün, checked quickly again, are our pebbles still there and off we go. Shortly after the village, first through the forest, unfortunately not always like that.
There are no places to stop for refreshments until 200 meters before the destination, luckily there was a small
