The motto of this tour:"Give it your all one more time"😉 The starting point was the endpoint of the previous day at the Rennsteighaus. With wonderful sunshine again, we quickly entered a more varied area than in the last few days. We gladly accepted the small 2km detour to the mountain lake near the

Starting again in glorious sunshine.
The unexpected surprises still lay ahead of us.
Oberhof, the winter sports resort with its ostentatious 80s hotel, its ski jump and the kilometer-long cross-country ski trails.
Surprise One was the encounter with the "thüringischer Holzmichel".
Surprise Two was that our

Day 5 of our Rennsteig hike... And again we start with glorious sunshine. Sometimes in the shade, sometimes in the blazing sun, but luckily today with more moderate temperatures. Past the old DDR bunker from the 80s, the Rennsteig station, which is only accessible by a cogwheel train. Break at the "Alten

Due to a small emergency, we were traveling separately for the first few hours today. Shortly before Neustadt, we were able to celebrate reunification🥳. Together we then spent the last three hours through the scorching heat of what felt like over 30 degrees to Alzunah. The first beer evaporated before our eyes. 😉😁

Unfortunately, I had a dental emergency and had to interrupt the hike... After a short, painful treatment in Großbreitenbach, I returned to the Rennsteig to finish the stage together with my wife... 😍

2nd day, it will be a hot day! All in all a nice tour, but the real highlights weren't there today... Unfortunately, the bark beetle has also done a lot of damage in the Thuringian Forest and the Franconian Forest. Many bare areas, but the positive thing about it is that you have a nice distant view

The Rennsteig lies at our feet! Today it began. In the best weather, we started with a stone from the Saale (old custom) and set off. Wonderful views, beautiful paths through rapeseed fields, shaded resting places and a "Gut Runtsch" when other Rennsteig hikers came towards us. We were glad when we finally

As preparation for our multi-day Rennsteig hike, we undertook the circuit of the Kummerower See.
It turned out to be three stages: 24 km, 20 km, and 12 km with two overnight stays.
We set off in glorious sunshine with temperatures up to 27 degrees. Since it wasn't clear whether the local Moorbauer (ferryman

A training session for upcoming tasks...😉😁
The round from Rechlin was not a particularly attractive tour. From Sprottscher Berg, it went through formerly Soviet-used areas, where numerous warning signs still indicated leftover ammunition. The situation only relaxed from the Rechlin-Nord town sign onwards
