December 27, 2023,"Raboldshäuser Ritterweg" - Fabelweg, Premiumwanderweg
After the rainy Christmas days, the premium hiking trail “Raboldshäuser Ritterweg” was my destination today.
As expected, it was very muddy and all in all difficult to make progress.
But since I've already walked large parts of the route in nice weather, it was a change.

You have to have a soft spot for grass and meadow paths to get anything out of this fabulous path. Lots of fields, little forest, some poorly maintained paths.

I really enjoyed this round. Nice that there is now a tour that also includes Neuenstein Castle. There are many nice places to rest.

The second to last fabled trail on our list and we're glad it wasn't the first. He can't really convince us. 🤷‍♀️
The start was still nice, but then in the second third meadow paths alternated mainly with gravel, although the views were still convincing. 🏞️
The castle - which can be viewed from the outside - and the rose …

A beautiful but not particularly exciting fairytale trail from Neuenstein Castle.

As the castle is on the motorway, the sound of cars unfortunately accompanies you again and again on this hike.

A Pentecost service was held at Predigerstuhl today and there were many people on foot, by bike and by car heading towards Predigerstuhl, where there was also soup …

And another fabulous fabulous trail 😃.
Twice we got lost...the first time I misinterpreted the sign, the second time I must have missed it and then we walked a bit the wrong way around and then turned back. It doesn't matter, the round is fantastic, at least when the weather is nice 😉. The dogs loved the spacious meadows. With …

Today I tried one of the new fairy tale paths in Little Red Riding Hood land. It was really worth it. The tour was very well signposted, although there were still a few markings missing, but it was still easy to follow. It was very varied and there were many nice places to take a break. Here is the link …

If there is time and the weather is right, plan and do a proper tour;
The F8 is the longest of the fabled trails and was a bit swampy today with more or less clouds - like almost all hiking trails at the moment. It was a nice path and I could certainly have stayed longer at Neuenstein Castle, but …

Between Raboldshausen and Neuenstein Castle you hike through the open fields and dense forest, where you could meet Little Red Riding Hood on many a corner. You can almost see all the way to Bad Hersfeld over the Geistal, but you still have a beautiful view of Neuenstein Castle. And in the Gelbach valley
