This beautiful circular walk combines culture and nature: the medieval town of Seßlach with its cobbled streets, colorful half-timbered houses and the mighty city wall is a real gem. You start at the western gate and stroll through the market square before leaving the old town. The path takes you…

July 19, 2025,Rundweg ab Seßlach mit Blick auf die Veste Coburg
Picture-perfect weather today, quite warm in the sun, at least during the course of the tour. It's a good thing the climb was right at the beginning and through the forest. Leaving the forest, we suddenly had a magnificent view of Coburg Fortress and later the Thuringian Forest. It's a good thing the Red Ox had already opened on the …

Our route took us along the city wall, first to the Geiersberger Gate and then along the pilgrimage route towards the Vierzehnheiligen. Before we reached the town of Krumbach we had a phenomenal view of the …

So: enough annoyance, we will stop using @Komoot for now (even though we …
