What now - already the second to last day? Where has the time gone? 🙈
We don't really want it to be over yet. Well, our legs might see it a little differently, but we don't like to listen to them anyway. 😉
The day begins between fields, cleared forests and reforestation areas. The traces of the bark

The sixth day is dawning and today it is extremely hot. As early as 9 a.m., when we set off, we notice the warm air.
Right from the start, it goes uphill. Maybe it's because of the heat, but the altitude is difficult for us today. 😥 But we are rewarded with the Noranke view of the Scheibe-Alsbach reservoir

The place where we start today is called Allzunah, but the destination is anything but all that close! After all, today we have a sporty 30 kilometers on the program and that still feels quite far away in the morning.
The first half of today's tour is not particularly exciting. The hiking trail is mostly

We're leaving late this morning, but since we're only planning on doing 20 kilometers, we're allowed to start the day at a leisurely pace 😃!
We spent the night in Oberhof. The small town is THE winter sports center of Thuringia and even in summer people train here on roller skis, bicycles and in the

The breakfast buffet at our accommodation opens its doors at 7.30 a.m. We are already ready at 7.20 a.m., after all we have to walk VERY far today and we want to get going early. Over 30 kilometers are on the program!
Right from the start we make rapid progress and feel full of energy. We walk alternately

Somewhat surprised that the first day of the long-distance hike is more visibly in our bones than we expected, we start the first day slowly today. Leaving Ruhla, it is a bit steep uphill and we notice that we need to warm up our legs first. 😅
Back on the main route of the Rennsteig, the forest is shrouded

We'll be lacing up our hiking boots for the next eight days! 🥾 We want to take a closer look at Germany's oldest (and I'll just say most popular) long-distance hiking trail and find out for ourselves what makes this 170-kilometer-long trail through the Thuringian Forest so attractive. 😃

The last stage of the Rennsteig begins! Now we are only 20 kilometers away from arriving in Blankenstein and being able to throw the stone we brought with us from the Werra into the Saale/Selbitz. 😃
From Brennersgrün, the route leads straight into the forest. And when we take our first steps on the wet
