P9 Juniper Trail Roßbach
The starting point was the Wolfsberg hiking parking lot behind Roßbach. After a short climb, it led into a beautiful forest path. Via forest paths, I reached the L 3389 and continued over fields and meadow paths. Beautiful views of the Meissner Land alternated with insights into the calcareous grassland and the juniper meadows. Past wildflower …

The weather report announced low rainfall for today. But already on the way to the hiking car park near Roßbach in the Geo-Naturpark Frau Holle Land it began to pour down ... because of "little rain" 🙄

We weren't sure what to do. We couldn't question the weather app because we were in the no man's land of German network …

Absolutely recommendable tour. A constant uphill and downhill makes it interesting. Beautiful views, with enough benches to rest on. A nice mix of forest and field/meadow paths.

The plum trees and blackberry bushes are laden with fruit, the meadows are in bloom, and the fields are a brilliant yellow. There's buzzing, chirping, and tweeting everywhere. The sun is shining brightly. Summer is so vibrant. The P9 is a pleasant loop with many panoramic …

Today we went along the P9, with one small change. We started at the hiking car park in Roßbach.

However, I walked the tour in the opposite direction to the signpost there.

Absolutely recommended. 👍🏻Beautiful landscape with countless great views and places to rest.

I recommend going this tour only on dry ground. We missed a branch in Rossbach. The route has to be corrected, see map. Unfortunately there is no collection in Komoot yet. The route is quite a zigzag!
