It was simply great to do a few laps with like-minded people. 👍🏼

A 5 star tour.
A mix of Lutherweg, Rennsteig and Splittergrund. A permanent magnet is probably the mountain lake Ebertswiese with its fantastic rocky backdrop. But the Splitterfall must also be mentioned. As well as the Splittergrund. If you dare to take the trail above the Splitterstraße, you will be rewarded with beautiful views.
This round was simply a feast …
