A beautiful route, the area is wonderful ☺️ for mountain biking. There weren't many hikers at this time of year, only the Sahara dust obscured the view.

April 13, 2024,Zum höchsten Punkt des Rennsteigs und noch viel viel weiter. 😅

Fantastic tour to the highest point of the Rennsteig. It felt like it was only uphill, but we saw some wonderful spots and rode some cool trails. Highly recommended tour. 🌲🌳⛰️👌😴

It was probably too early 😅, so there was generally little room to avoid 😜, which suits me as an amateur. The new Gehlberger Hut is fully open again, and also offers overnight accommodation. Super, …
