If the weather is right, you have an outrageously brilliant view from here ☝️which you can "earn" on a small circular route beforehand

This round from the Fuldaer Haus is one of my favorite rounds in the Rhön. It leads to the following top highlights:

Stellberg
Milseburg
gentian hut
devil stone
stone wall

Some of the paths in between are also driveways, but there are also some climbs. Between the above highlights there are many other beautiful places on this trail.

@Jörg Thanks for the inspiration. Some 100m recordings are missing (for obvious reasons 😏)

Today we drove a bit out of Fulda to do a little hike through the Rhön:
To the Teufelsstein, on to the Weiherberg with the Enzianhütte, via the art path to the Fuldaer Haus, where there were delicious shandies and apple crumble 😋
Then it went over the Stellberg to the stone wall and back to the car 🤗

That was a nice tour today. Great weather, hardly any people on the road and wonderful views. What more do you want!? Can only recommend the round 😉👍
The only drawback: I actually wanted to go up to the Enzianhütte for a glass of wine, but unfortunately it was closed. 😔
Luckily I checked again at the Grabenhöfchen. 😉

Happy Easter everyone.
On Friday I showed you a pearl of the Rhön again... today I'll unpack my jewelry box and show you my crown jewels 😎
On average, today's tour had a highlight every 3 km... and there are a few breakers as you can see from the pictures.
A super great round... the Komoot Uschi annoyed me several …

The tour started at the Grabenhöfchen hiking car park, from there it went past the Bubenbad and soon the "Pearl of the Rhön" the Milseburg (835m) appeared. Before I went up the challenging hiking trail to the summit, I might have saved a sheep's life. The animal lay on the meadow with all four legs stretched out in the air …
