We tackled the Sababurg primeval forest again after a long break. We wanted to show it to our grandson. We started at the Sababurg parking lot. Along the wall of the animal park, we hiked through the Reinhardswald wildlife sanctuary. This area then merges seamlessly into the Sababurg primeval forest

We strolled through the old town and looked at the Dreifaltigkeitskirche (Trinity Church).
A stone's throw from the historic old town lie the castle ruins, already visible from the market square, high above the town

We started in Türkelstein and immediately began with the 1st highlight: The Geiskirche with a huge rock gate.
Awesome again!

So off we went!
We started in the middle of the forest at the hiking parking lot near Auerbach, below the Stone City. Here it went straight uphill quite steeply to the 2 Brothers, who greeted us joyfully

It has been ages since we were last at the Allerburg. That's why we set off today.
We started this time in the village of Bockelnhagen in the Eichsfeldkreis district. (The place does not belong to the historical Eichsfeld)
At first, the path led us gently out of the village towards Eselsborn.
