March 9, 2024,Rhönrundweg 2 - Mellrichstadt - Frickenhausen

We start our hike at the free Streuwiese car park. The Rhönrundweg 2 is very well signposted and has a few meters to overcome, but it is not very long. Although the hike runs more through nature, on forest, field and meadow paths, it is very varied and has some highlights. There are also plenty of rest and relaxation benches …

The tour leads from Mellrichstadt through meadows, forests and bushland past the Frickenhäuser Lake and back again via a large quarry and the former barracks area. A simple, uncomplicated but beautiful route with a guaranteed chance of spotting woodpeckers. Unfortunately, the March lilies have not yet bloomed.

You walk from Mellrichstadt in the direction of Frickenhausen first past the Suhlesturm. The old watch tower can also be climbed. You stand upstairs via a stone external staircase and then two stairs inside the tower and have a very nice panoramic view. Then it goes past a small chapel into the forest. At some point you stand in front …
